Digital Storytelling, Mediatized Stories: Self-representations in New Media

The practice of people telling stories about themselves on web sites and other electronic media is explored by scholars from communications, education, information technology, and other disciplines. Their perspectives include conceptual choices and alternative futures, autobiography and assumed authenticity, narrative strategies, contextual factors influencing children’s online self-representation, and building metaphors of identity for social science research.
