This volume explores the selfie not only as a specific photographic
practice that is deeply rooted in digital culture, but also how it
is understood in relation to other media of self-portrayal. Unlike
the public debate about the dangers of 'selfie-narcissism', this
anthology discusses what the practice of taking and sharing selfies
can tell us about media culture today: can the selfie be critiqued
as an image or rather as a social practice? What are the
technological conditions of this form of vernacular photography? By
gathering articles from the fields of media studies; art history;
cultural studies; visual studies; philosophy; sociology and
ethnography, this book provides a media archaeological perspective
that highlights the relevance of the selfie as a stereotypical as
well as creative practice of dealing with ourselves in relation to
technology.
