Selfies? Why selfies? 
•Not just related to youth, insanity, narcissism, sex 
or celebrities 
•There are multiple practices under the ‘selfie’ 
moniker 
•Selfies are social and everyday 
•Selfies are perceived as personal timelines, 
present and ‘authentic’ 
•Instagram is a prime site for self storytelling and 
personal narratives 
[From a study on how a certain demographic of highly skilled 
professionally successful, well-educated, urban women, uses 
Facebook and Instagram for self-portrayal] -> “endlessly 
constructed self’, ‘curated portrayal’, ‘communication 
through likes’ (Marianne Aerni, 2014)
Instagram: the big data approach
Personal narratives and health
Selfies as life stories
Selfies as life stories
Selfie stories: our approach 
Focus on personal narratives and continuous self-construction of the self. 
Two main targets: 
-Intensive uses. 
-Specific uses 
Combination of quantitative and qualitative approach, 3 phases: 
(1) Using Big Data analysis for broader uses through general and specific tags 
(selfie-related tags), geolocalization and popularity in a given time span. -> 
continuous flow analysis -> evolution of a tag cloud through time. 
(2) Ethnographical approach to narrative flows and intensive users -> 
interrelation with big data approach
Selfie stories: our approach 
(3) Identification and analysis of specific practices and contexts: 
-Hypothesis: the selfie, as a form of expression of the self and articulator 
of personal narratives, configures different collective practices and can 
foster new ones. 
- Working target fields: immigration, health and education.

Two main targets: -Intensive uses. -Specific uses Combination of quantitative and qualitative approach, 3 phases: (1) Using Big Data analysis for broader uses through general and specific tags (selfie-related tags), geolocalization and popularity in a given time span. -> continuous flow analysis -> evolution of a tag cloud through time. (2) Ethnographical approach to narrative flows and intensive users -> interrelation with big data approach
