Description
Digital Identities: Creating and Communicating the Online Self by Robert Cover explores how digital media has added to the complexity of identity. This book examines online identity through interactive sites, social networking, and user-generated content, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of self-representation in today's digital environment. Critical studies have long identified the complexities of identity, but digital communications technologies have further complicated this concept. By investigating how people create and communicate their online selves, Cover provides a critical perspective on the ways in which digital media shapes our understanding of identity. This book makes complex theories of identity accessible to readers, exploring implications of inter-cultural access that emerges from globalization and worldwide networking.
