This collection reflects on the emerging phenomenon of 'selfie
citizenship', which capitalises on individual visibility and
agency, at the time when citizenship itself is increasingly
governed through biometrics and large-scale dataisation. Today we
are witnessing a global rise of politicised selfies: photographs of
individuals with handwritten notes or banners, various selfie memes
and hashtag actions, spread on social media in actions of protest
or social mobilistion. Contributions in this collection range from
discussions of citizen engagement, to political campaigning, to
selfies as forms of citizen witnessing, to selfies without a face.
The chapters cover uses of selfies by activists, tourists and
politicians, victims and survivors, adults and children, in a broad
range of geopolitical locations -China, Germany, Iran, Nepal,
Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, the UK and the US.
Written by an international and interdisciplinary group of authors,
from senior professors to junior scholars, artists, graduate
students and activist, the book is aimed at students, researchers,
and media practitioners.
