Description
This comprehensive textbook explores the relationship between identity, subjectivity and digital communication, providing a strong starting point for understanding how fast-changing communication technologies impact our perception of ourselves, others, relationships and bodies.
Drawing on critical studies of identity, behaviour and representation, Identity and Digital Communication examines how identity is shaped and understood in the context of significant shifts in online communication. The book covers topics such as advances in social networking, deepfake videos, everyday communication, algorithm-based cultures and online communication's role in hostility and hate speech.
Author Rob Cover provides critical accounts, everyday examples and analysis of key platforms like TikTok, affirming that digital cultural practices must be understood to make sense of identity in the 2020s and beyond. This textbook is an essential resource for scholars, students and practitioners in media studies, psychology, sociology, anthropology, computer science, as well as health professionals and community members.
