This book follows a Goffmanian approach to self-presentation to
focus on the different strategies Spanish users employ to construct
their digital identity in profiles, biographies, pictures, and
statuses on platforms such WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and
LinkedIn. The author presents a functioning taxonomy of
self-presentation strategies along the front-stage/back-stage
continuum, including common strategies such as eudaimonic (or
inspirational) messages and the use of humour. Special attention is
paid to the effects of social variables such as the users' gender and
age, and the perceived purposes of the different platforms (e.g.
LinkedIn is often intended as a professional market for job hunting,
whereas Facebook is rarely used in this context). The book will be of
interest to students and scholars of Technologically Mediated
Communication (traditionally known as Computer-Mediated Communication
or CMC), media communication, internet pragmatics, digital discourse
analysis, and related fields.
