[Air-L] Nancy Baym on Katrin Tiidenberg's book "Selfies"

[Sarah Broadley]

Hi all,

We thought members of this list might be interested to see former AoIR President Nancy Baym's comments on the recently-published "Selfies: Why We Love (and Hate) Them" by Katrin Tiidenberg...


"This deceptively slim volume offers a deeper and more nuanced dive into its topic than many realize selfies deserve, revealing the form to be steeped in histories - of art, of photography, of technology - and contemporary attitudes toward gender, youth, and bodies. Remarkably clear, full of examples, and fun to read, this book is essential for anyone interested in popular culture."
