Identities and Intimacies on Social Media: Transnational Perspectives

This edited collection illuminates the scope with which identities and intimacies interact on a wide range of social media platforms across the globe.

In this volume, a range of international scholars examine social spaces with specific attention to their socio-cultural dynamics in relation to identities and intimacies within the global ‘political’ sphere. Offering insights from across the globe (with contributions from Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the USA) topics range from whitewashing and memes, parental discourses in online activities, Spotify as an intimate social media platform, neo-liberalisation of feminist discourses, digital sex work, social media wars in trans debates, and ‘BimboTok’.

This enlightening and rigorous collection will be of key interest to scholars in Media Studies, Gender Studies and to scholars and professionals of social media.
