Peraica, Ana2023-02-072023-02-072017978-94-92302-17-5https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/culture-of-the-selfie/https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/20417Culture of the Selfie is an in-depth art-historical overview of self-portraiture, using a set of theories from visual studies, narratology, media studies, psychotherapy, and political principles. Collecting information from various fields, juxtaposing them on the historical time-line of artworks, the book focuses on space in self-portraits, shared between the person self-portraying and the viewer. What is the missing information of the transparent relationship to the self and what kind of world appears behind each selfie? As the ‘world behind one’s back’ is gradually taking larger place in the visual field, the book dwells on a capacity of selfies to master reality, the inter-mediate way and, in a measure, oneself.engCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 GenericSelfieSelf-RepresentationVisual CultureArt History79110.25969/mediarep/19243
