Description & Coverage
Description:

The recent popularity of Social Network Sites (SNS) shows that there is a growing interest in articulating, making visible, and managing personal or professional relationships through technology-enabled environments.

Networked Sociability and Individualism: Technology for Personal and Professional Relationships provides a multidisciplinary framework for analyzing the new forms of sociability enabled by digital media and networks. This book focuses on a variety of social media and computer-mediated communication environments with the aim of identifying and understanding different types of social behavior and identity expression.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Computer-Mediated Communication
  • Mobile Social Networking
  • Networked Individualism
  • Networked Sociability
  • New media literacy
  • Participatory Culture
  • Social Media and Privacy
  • Social Network Sites
  • Web 2.0
Reviews & Statements

As digital technology is becoming increasingly integrated in our everyday lives, it is widely recognised that a deeper understanding of the relational and identity-based patterns it enables is crucial, both with regards to theory and to the broader social context. We hope that the multidisciplinary and cross-national approach proposed by this book will make a significant contribution to advancing our knowledge of such topics.

– Francesca Comunello, Sapienza University of Rome

Networked Sociability is a valuable resource for all interested in social networking sites and the impact these sites have on people’s daily lives.
