This title is available in both free open access (PDF/ html) and print
editions (paperback, £15.00 | hardback, £35.00).

Why is social media in southeast Italy so predictable when it is used by
such a range of different people? This book describes the impact of social
media
on the population of a town in the southern region of Puglia, Italy.
Razvan Nicolescu spent 15 months living among the town's residents,
exploring what
it means to be an individual on social media. Why do people from this
region conform on platforms that are designed for personal expression?

Nicolescu argues that social media use in this region of the world is
related to how people want to portray themselves. He pays special
attention to the
ability of users to craft their appearance in relation to collective
ideals, values and social positions, and how this feature of social media
has, for
the residents of the town, become a moral obligation: they are expected to
be willing to adapt their appearance to suit their different audiences at
the
same time, which is crucial in a town where religion and family are at the
heart of daily life.
