The glowing camera screen is the lens through which many of us seek to communicate our experience. But our thinking about photography has been slow to catch-up; this major fixture of everyday life is still often treated in the terms of art or journalism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Social Photo\u003c\/i\u003e, social theorist Nathan Jurgenson develops bold new ways of understanding photography in the age of social media and the new kinds of images that have emerged: the selfie, the faux-vintage photo, the self-destructing image, the food photo. Jurgenson shows how these devices and platforms have remade the world and our understanding of ourselves within it.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45999417458943,"sku":"9781804298275","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781804298275_s600x595.jpg?v=1775598125","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781804298275","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
