Zusammenfassung:
'On Display' is a study about how people remake their worlds through Instagram. John D. Boy and Justus Uitermark provide an encompassing account of how a platform that is unfailingly polished and ruthlessly judgmental shapes us and our environments. They examine how personalities, relations, social movements, urban subcultures, and city streets change as they are represented on Instagram. Drawing on sociological theory, long-term qualitative inquiry in Amsterdam, and computational analyses, Boy and Uitermark argue that grasping the power of Instagram - and other social media platforms - requires seeing them not as digital networks of communication and sharing, but as a stage for the expression and affirmation of social status.
