[Air-L] New YouTube Book!

[Maureen MAUK]

HI Patricia,
Thanks so much for writing this Book! I'm a PhD student in my 3rd year, working on prelims at the moment and working towards writing a dissertation about parental controls in the digital space, particularly on streaming TV platforms. I worked in Los Angeles as a Standards & Practices exec for over a decade before going for my PhD for both Fox and Mattel and had a lot of ethical issues with the use of kids' youtube for money making means, hence... here I am in sunny Madison WI studying it. I'd love your chapter summaries and will request the book be ordered and shelved through the UW library system. Thank you so much! I'd love to collaborate and chat in the future and hope to attend AoIR next Fall and will be at SCMS this Spring in case we happen to overlap.

All my best,
Maureen

Subject: [Air-L] New YouTube Book!

Dear Colleagues

My new book on sociality on YouTube is now out! It is called Thanks for Watching: An Anthropological Study of Video Sharing on YouTube (University Press of Colorado, 2019). The book takes a diachronic approach to analyze how YouTubers share video to promote sociality. The book may be used for teaching themes in new media such as the impact of monetization on video sociality, overstated claims of narcissism, and an exploration of YouTube as a site of the posthuman. Whereas many books about digital media focus on identity performance, this book incorporates the rhythm analysis of Lefebvre to understand interactional dynamics over time.

I'm happy to provide chapter summaries for anyone who is interested.
