Das Selbst im Blick

Every question about the selfie, every research method and every research finding offers insights into the complexity of this mass media phenomenon. In the process, questions are raised about the structural conditions under which communication and expression take place, while the constellations between the body and the environment, between the self and technology are put up for discussion anew. This interdisciplinary anthology traces dominant references to this research subject, addressing four thematic areas in detail: Corpus formation: How is the selfie accomplished? Identity: Who does the selfie constitute? The history of ideas: Where does the selfie come from? Participation: What does the selfie change?
