"The complex and sometimes contradictory phenomena of social media are among the most discussed aspects of digital culture today," says Jay David Bolter, Professor in the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture, "and A Networked Self examines these phenomena through a variety of perspectives and approaches from sociology and communication theory."
A Networked Self is a collection of essays examining self presentation and social connection in the digital age, edited by Zizi Papacharissi. Bolter (along with Richard Grusin) is the author of Remediation: Understanding New Media, another key work on the subject. Source: Networked Performance, July 1, 2011.
