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.

(Dis)Orientation appears to be a phenomenon that is connected to
media in numerous respects: Today, finding your way in the world
often means finding your way with the help of as well as within
media, which in turn creates new virtual realms of
(dis)orientation. This book deals with recent media technologies
and structures (navigation devices, databases, transmediality) and
unconventional narrative patterns (narrative complexity, plot
twists, non-linearity), using the ambivalent concept of
(dis)orientation as a shared focus to analyze various phenomena of
contemporary media, thereby raising overarching questions about
current mediascapes.
Der Sammelband widmet sich dem spezifischen Verhaltnis von
Animation und verschiedenen Transformationsprozessen. In den
geplanten Aufsatzen werden (Ver-)Wandlungen von Formen und
Koerpern, von Zeit und Raum, aber auch der Wandel von
wissenschaftlichen Definitionen oder (inter-)kulturellen Bezugen
untersucht. Ziel ist es, die Wandlungsfahigkeiten der Animation in
den Blick zu nehmen und ihre Umgestaltungs- und Umsetzungs- und
UEbersetzungsleistungen als Phanomene genauer zu beschreiben.
