A Networked Self and Platforms, Stories, Connections

Spaces, be they online or offline; private or public; physical, augmented or virtual; or of a hybrid nature, present the performative realms through which one’s sense of self is articulated, actualized, presented and representedThis volume focuses on how digital media platforms support, enhance, or confine the networked self and the stories participants tell about themselves and the world around them. Contributors examine a range of issues relating to storytelling, platforms, and the self, including the live-reporting of events, the curation of information, emerging modalities of journalism, collaboratively formed memories, and the instant historification of the present.
