This book investigates the relationship between the self and screen
in the digital age, and examines how the notion of the self is
re-negotiated and curated online. The chapters examine the
production of the self in postmodernity through digital platforms
by employing key concepts of ubiquity, the everyday, disembodiment
and mortality. It locates self-production through ubiquitous
imaging of the self and our environments with and through mobile
technologies and in terms of its 'embeddedness' in our everyday
lives. In this innovative text, Yasmin Ibrahim explores
technology's co-location on our corporeal body, our notions of
domesticity and banality, our renewed relationship with the screen
and our enterprise with capital as well as the role of desire in
the formation of the self. The result is a richly interdisciplinary
volume that seeks to examine the formation of the self online,
through its renewed negotiations with personalised technologies and
with the emergence of social networking sites.
