Narrative Self-Exposure on Social Media: From Ricoeur to Arendt in the Digital Age

Research output: Chapter in Book / Report / Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter investigates what the use of digital technologies, in particular social networking sites, means for the notion of the self. Even thought there are considerable differences between narrative and digital identity, the continuity between the two should not be ignored. However, whereas narrative identity implies expression of the self, digital identity aims at self-exposure.
