Identity Problems in the Facebook Era
Daniel Trottier
How have new social media altered how individuals present themselves? What dilemmas have they introduced? In the age of Facebook, Twitter and other forms of instant communication, individuals are losing (or relinquishing) control over their personal information. Trottier provides a trenchant analysis of the paradoxes of privacy and the presentation of self in the early 21st century. This book is ideal for courses in Sociology, Media Studies and Communication.
Daniel Trottier is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Social and Digital Media at the Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI), University of Westminster, London. His research considers the social consequences of digital media, with an emphasis on surveillance and policing.
Framing 21st Century Social Issues
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.customgateway.com/routledge-social-issues.html.
