Maria-Carolina Cambre, "Towards a Sociology of Selfies "
English | ISBN: 0367188112 | 2023 | 246 pages | PDF | 14 MB
This book examines selfies as a relational and processual networked social practice, performed between people within digital contexts and that involve online/offline intersections and tensions. It offers an analysis of selfies through a rich and interdisciplinary framework, that explores the ritualized and affective engagements selfies provoke from others.

As such, this book explores how selfies invoke broader, stratified patterns of looking that are occluded in discourses of "empowerment" and "visibility", as well as the subjectivities these networked practices work to produce.
