Oversharing

Ben Agger

People overshare when they interact with others through the screens of computers and smartphones, divulging more of their inner feelings, opinions, and sexuality than they would in person, or even over the phone. Text messaging, Facebooking, tweeting, camming, blogging, online dating, and Internet porn are vehicles of this oversharing, which blurs the boundary between public and private life. This book examines these presentations of self, acknowledging that we are now much more public about what used to be private. With this second edition, Agger adds a new chapter on whether privacy is possible that addresses selfies, job loss due to oversharing, the surveillance state, and examples of when the private should go public.

Ben Agger works in critical theory, cultural/media/Internet studies, and critical food and exercise studies at University of Texas-Arlington, where he also directs the Center for Theory. He edits Fast Capitalism, which can be found at www.fastcapitalism.com. Among his recent books are Texting toward Utopia and Body Problems, and he is working on Age of Opinion, a study of message boards, tweeting, and cyberdemocracy.

Framing 21st Century Social Issues

Series Editor: France Winddance Twine, University of California, Santa Barbara

The goal of this new, unique series is to offer readable, teachable thinking frames on todays social problems and social issues by leading scholars. These are available for view on http://routledge.custom-gateway.com/routledge-social-issues.html.

For instructors teaching a wide range of courses in the social sciences, the Routledge Social Issues Collection now offers the best of both worlds: originally written short texts that provide overviews to important social issues as well as teachable excerpts from larger works previously published by Rout-ledge and other presses.

As an instructor, click to the website to view the library and decide how to build your custom anthology and which thinking frames to assign. Students can choose to receive the assigned materials in print and/or electronic formats at an affordable price.
