DESCRIPTION:
A Networked
Self examines self presentation and social connection in the digital age.
This collection brings together new work on online social networks by leading
scholars from a variety of disciplines. The focus of the volume rests on the
construction of the self, and what happens to self-identity when it is
presented through networks of social connections in new media environments. The
volume is structured around the core themes of identity, community, and culture
– the central themes of social network sites. Contributors address theory,
research, and practical implications of many aspects of online social networks
including self-presentation, behavioral norms, patterns and routines, social
impact, privacy, class/gender/race divides, taste cultures online, uses
of social networking sites within organizations, activism, civic
engagement and political impact.
