Images of faces, bodies, selves and digital subjectivities abound
on new media platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, and
others-these images represent our new way of being online and of
becoming socially mediated. Although researchers are examining
digital embodiment, digital representations, and visual vernaculars
as a mode of identity performance and management online, there
exists no cohesive collection that compiles all these contemporary
philosophies into one reader for use in graduate level classrooms
or for scholars studying the field. The rationale for this book is
to produce a scholarly fulcrum that pulls together scholars from
disparate fields of inquiry in the humanities doing work on the
common theme of the socially mediated body. The chapters in
Mediated Interfaces: The Body on Social Media represent a diverse
list of contributors in terms of author representation, inclusivity
of theoretical frameworks of analysis, and geographic reach of
empirical work. Divided into three sections representing three
dominant paradigms on the socially mediated body: representation,
presentation, and embodiment, the book provides classic, creative,
and contemporary reworkings of these paradigms.
This absorbing anthology uses in-depth interdisciplinary case
studies from across the globe to examine the practice and concept
of microcelebrity. Expanding on the existing theoretical framing of
the online celebrity experience, the editors re-theorize
microcelebrity to accommodate developments in global internet
governance, the evolution of platform politics, the emergence of
hybrid forms of celebrity, and the collapsing networks between old
and new media. Chapters analyse experiences across Asia, Europe,
Latin America and Australia, and consider microcelebrities at all
stages of their careers, from everyday users and beginners to
veteran influencers. Arguing for new perspectives and theories of
microcelebrity that take into account colonial geographies,
cross-media networks between influencers and legacy media, and
gendered aggression and political discourses in a social
media-saturated age, this volume will be of huge value to students
and scholars of microcelebrity, social media, digital labour,
creative industries and internet culture.
The face of internet celebrity is rapidly diversifying and
evolving. Online and mainstream celebrity culture are now weaving
together, such that breakout stars from one-hit viral videos are
able to turn their transient fame into a full-time career. This
book presents a framework for thinking about the different forms of
internet celebrity that have emerged over the last decade, taking
examples from the Global North and South, to consolidate key ideas
about cultures of online fame. It discusses the overall landscape,
developments and trends in the internet celebrity economy, and
cross-cultural lessons.
