Espelhos reflexos, espelhos opacos: selfies e autorrepresentação na era dos smartphones

Abstract

Hegemonic self-portrait, the selfie stands as a perfectly adjusted record to the strategies aimed at exposure of private life and the spectacle of the ordinary; the ubiquity of socio-technical devices and the links between image and experience, too usual in our time. This type of “writing itself” contemporary, calls us to reflect on what differentiates it from other photographic practices as a performative gesture.
