Digital Intimate Publics and Social Media (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Amy Shields Dobson, Brady Robards, Nicholas Carah Digital Intimate Publics and Social Media (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)
Amy Shields Dobson, Brady Robards, Nicholas Carah
R3,529 Discovery Miles 35 290 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book explores emergent intimate practices in social media cultures. It examines new digital intimacies as they are constituted, lived, and commodified via social media platforms. The study of social media practices has come to offer unique insights into questions about what happens to power dynamics when intimate practices are made public, about intimacy as public and political, and as defined by cultural politics and pedagogies, institutions, technologies, and geographies. This book forges new pathways in the scholarship of digital cultures by fusing queer and feminist accounts of intimate publics with critical scholarship on digital identities and everyday social media practices. The collection brings together a diverse range of carefully selected, cutting-edge case studies and groundbreaking theoretical work on topics such as selfies, oversharing, hook-up apps, sexting, Gamergate, death and grief online, and transnational family life. The book is divided into three parts: 'Shaping Intimacy', 'Public Bodies', and 'Negotiating Intimacy'. Overarching themes include identity politics, memory, platform economics, work and labour, and everyday media practices.

Neo-Tribes - Consumption, Leisure and Tourism (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Anne Hardy, Andy Bennett, Brady Robards Neo-Tribes - Consumption, Leisure and Tourism (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)
Anne Hardy, Andy Bennett, Brady Robards
R2,557 Discovery Miles 25 570 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This collection brings together perspectives drawn from a range of international scholars who have conducted research into the applications of neo-tribal theory. The concept of the neo-tribe was first introduced by the French sociologist Michel Mafessoli (1996) to describe new forms of social bonds in the context of late modernity. This book critically explores the concepts that underpin neo-tribal theory, using perspectives from different disciplines, through a series of theoretically informed and empirically rich chapters. This innovative approach draws together a recently emergent body of work in cultural consumption, tourism and recreation studies. In doing so, the book critically progresses the concept of neo-tribe and highlights the strengths, weaknesses and the opportunities for the application of neo-tribal theory in an interdisciplinary way.

Youth Cultures and Subcultures - Australian Perspectives (Paperback): Sarah Baker, Brady Robards Youth Cultures and Subcultures - Australian Perspectives (Paperback)
Sarah Baker, Brady Robards
R1,254 Discovery Miles 12 540 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume critically examines 'subculture' in a variety of Australian contexts, exploring the ways in which the terrain of youth cultures and subcultures has changed over the past two decades and considering whether 'subculture' still works as a viable conceptual framework for studying youth culture. Richly illustrated with concrete case studies, the book is thematically organised into four sections addressing i) theoretical concerns and global debates over the continued usefulness of subculture as a concept; ii) the important place of 'belonging' in subcultural experience and the ways in which belonging is played out across an array of youth cultures; iii) the gendered experiences of young men and women and their ways of navigating subcultural participation; and iv) the ethical and methodological considerations that arise in relation to researching and teaching youth culture and subculture. Bringing together the latest interdisciplinary research to combine theoretical considerations with recent empirical studies of subcultural experience, Youth Cultures and Subcultures will appeal to scholars and students across the social sciences.
