1. Blogging

   Thoroughly revised and updated, this new edition of Blogging provides an accessible study of a now everyday phenomenon and places it in a historical, theoretical and contemporary context. The second edition takes into account the most recent research and developments and provides current analyses of new tools for microblogging and visual blogging. Jill Walker Rettberg discusses the ways blogs are integrated into today’s mainstream social media ecology, where comments and links from Twitter and Facebook may be more important than the network between blogs that was significant five years ago, and questions the shift towards increased commercialization and corporate control of blogs. The new edition also analyses how smart phones with cameras and social media have led a shift towards more visual emphasis in blogs, with photographs and graphics increasingly foregrounded. Authored by a scholar-blogger, this engaging book is packed with examples that show how blogging and related genres are changing media and communication.

2. Book presentation: Seeing Ourselves Through Technology: How We Use Selfies, Blogs and Wearable Devices to See and Shape Ourselves

   This book explores self-representations in three modes: written, visual and quantitative, and looks
   at how these modes of self-representation are used in a digital age. The histories of written and
   visual self-representations are well known through lineages of autobiographies, diaries, memoirs
   and self-portraits, and have clear descendents in blogs and social media sites like Instagram,
   Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. Quantitative self-representations also have a long history but have
   been less studied as an aesthetic and rhetorical genre. With digital media, the personal tracking of weather, travels, habits and moods is commodified through activity trackers, wearable devices
   and apps for lifelogging and productivity.
   The book, which will be published as a peer-reviewed, open access and print-on-demand book in
   the Palgrave Pivot imprint in October 2014, includes chapters on selfies, on the use of technological and cultural filters, on real-time diaries and on surveillance. For the purpose of this
   workshop, the presentation will focus on how we can understand what José van Dijck calls
