> (eg. network analysis) or more oriented to the phenomenology of the

> of social interactions involving digital media (eg. the analysis of
> interactions; the presentation of the self). Ideally all the papers, while

> importance
> of both of these dimensions in how digital media shapes and is shaped by
> social
> life. The idea is to highlight current research, to encourage intellectual
> community among sociological researchers in this area, and to provide an
> opportunity to identify and deepen shared themes of research.
