E-mmortal: Death Anxiety is Related to Selfie Behaviors.

Given the widespread phenomenon of selfies, numerous studies are examining the motivations behind taking and sharing selfies. The current paper suggests an additional possible motivation, namely, decreasing death anxiety. People are motivated to decrease their death anxiety by preserving a fake feeling of immortality. One known way to achieve this goal is by using photography. Therefore, we suggest that selfie behaviors are a way to fulfill the need to remain immortal. A hundred undergraduate students (Mage = 22.33) answered self-reported questionnaires regarding selfie motivations, selfie-taking frequency, selfie-sharing frequency, and death anxiety. All of those selfie measurements were indeed positively related to death anxiety. Moreover, many previous studies suggested that narcissism motivates selfie behaviors. In an exploratory approach, we examined whether death anxiety mediates this relationship. Indeed, death anxiety fully mediated the relationships between narcissism and selfie motivations and between narcissism and selfie-taking frequency, suggesting that the well-documented association between selfie behaviors and narcissism might be driven by death anxiety. Those preliminary results indicate that death anxiety is associated with selfie behaviors, opening new avenues for understanding the motivations underlying selfie behaviors.

Publicizing the Miracle of Vaccination: “Vaccine Selfies” as a Jewish Visual Ethic of Embodied Obligation

ABSTRACT With the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccines in December 2020 the phenomenon of vaccine selfies arose. This article argues that vaccine selfies can be seen as doing the work of pirsumei nissah—“publicizing the miracle”—using Emmanuel Levinas’s interpretation of Hannukah candles as an aesthetic invitation to obligation for the Other. The resources of modern Jewish thought can help deepen the understanding of the particular Jewish moral work being done both in pirsumei nissah and in vaccination, where both become part of an other-regarding ethic of obligation. In particular, Mara Benjamin’s work on motherhood and commandedness in Jewish thought opens up the possibility of viewing vaccination as paradigmatic of a Jewish ethics of embodied obligation. With these resources, the article considers how the concept of pirsumei nissah offers an opening for a Jewish visual ethics of obligation and gratitude.

A szelfikultúra szerepe és veszélyei szociálpszichológiai szemszögből a Covid19-világjárvány alatt

In 2013, “selfie” was named the word of the year by the Oxford English Dictionary, implying a self-portrait photograph taken by oneself using a digital camera or a smartphone, mainly to post on social media. In the past decade, selfies have become a new medium for self-expression and self-representation (Qiu et al. 2015). On social media platforms, users publish virtual self-representations that are influenced by “real-life” individual and societal changes (Hogan & Quan-Haase 2010); which is also reflected during the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of social media and self-representation in social media posts increased during the first and the second wave of the pandemic, with selfies among the most popular types of content shared (Sándor 2022a; Sándor 2022b). The goal of the current paper is to provide a concise review of the selfie phenomenon from the perspective of the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by the author's research results on self-representation and image modification on social media.

Selfies in the public art gallery and copyright permissions

Public art galleries have traditionally prohibited visitors from photographing exhibited artworks. Today, however, photography in the gallery is invariably permitted and commonly encouraged, including visitors taking selfies. Copyright law and practice has generally responded to new techniques of reproduction, such as etchings and photographs, and how those technologies are used in commerce and general society. The selfie is a cultural phenomenon that invites re-examination of some areas of copyright law and practice, notably, permitted acts. Has copyright law, in particular freedom of panorama, kept pace with the phenomenon of selfies in the gallery? This article seeks to answer that question and also considers whether the photography policies of leading public galleries present better ways of engaging with the selfie phenomenon than does the current law.

Selfie Narratives Made by Young People

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the phenomenon of selfies on social networks, identifying the meanings produced by young people about their selfies and seeking to expand the understanding about this type of photography. Structured interviews were conducted with 15 college students between 18 and 28 years old that were analyzed through “applied psychoanalysis”. The participants chose personal selfies and justified their publication on social networks. The interviews pointed to multiple meanings interacting with each other. Five narrative categories were created to reflect on the elements that appeared privileged in the interviewees’ speech. The results showed aspects little or not discussed in the literature on the subject, revealing the plurality of meanings that exist in selfies. Thus, this study broadens the interpretation about the use that young people make of social networks and contributes with new insights to the work on this theme in contemporary clinical practice.

Towards a theoretical understanding of the selfie: A descriptive review

AbstractOver the past 2 decades or so, the triple digital revolution—social network, Internet, and mobile phone—has increased the use and popularity of the “selfie.” Within social sciences, the phenomenon of the selfie has been examined as a new culture that shapes human self‐presentation, social relationships, and social consumptions. This article provides an overview of the most common theoretical approaches that have been used by researchers to understand the phenomenon of the selfie. In particular, the article focuses on the use of the following frameworks: dramaturgic lens, sociosemiotic approach, and dialectical framework. In addition to these approaches, this article also introduces some preliminary ideas relating to the possibility of exploring the selfie through the lens of mediatization theory. This is based on the argument that the selfie phenomenon operates within media logic as it offers symbolic resources, discursive strategies, communicative messages, and performance tactics that shape and transform the presentation of self, social interaction, and social order.

Selfie culture

This article describes the cultural phenomenon of selfie. It describes psychological and social conditions as well as historical background. In addition, the theoretical aspect was enriched by research on a sample of 196 respondents from three universities. The questionnaire was aimed at finding answers to many questions, sometimes even controversial, such as the aspect of selfie in an intimate situation. The article aims to find the answer to the question: what is the cause of the phenomenon of selfie all over the world, including Poland. What is the meaning of selfie for the people I have examined (to a small extent) (singles, people who have a partner and are divorced). This is important because we know that such photos are posted in social media, but why and how often – we usually don't know that. I was interested in the frequency of posting photos by the respondents, processing photos with graphic programs, posting photos taken in an intimate situation as well as tracking “likes” in social media. The respondents enabled us to look at the phenomenon and draw some conclusions, which I described in detail in the summary.
