Description

A Networked Self examines self presentation and social connection in the digital age.

This collection brings together new work on online social networks by leading scholars from a variety of disciplines.

The focus of the volume rests on the construction of the self, and what happens to self-identity when it is presented through networks of social connections in new media environments.

The volume is structured around the core themes of identity, community, and culture – the central themes of social network sites.

Contributors address theory, research, and practical implications of many aspects of online social networks including self-presentation, behavioral norms, patterns and routines, social impact, privacy, class/gender/race divides, taste cultures online, uses of social networking sites within organizations, activism, civic engagement and political impact.
