Do I Look Like My Selfie: Filters and the Digital-Forensic Gaze
Filtered faces are some of the most heavily engaged photos on social media. The vast majority of literature on selfies have focused on self-reported practices of creating and posting selfies and how subjects view themselves, but research on using filters and the kinds of looking filter provoke is underexplored. Part of a larger project, this analysis draws from a study using photo-elicitation techniques to discuss selfie filters with 12 focus gro…
How Else Would You Take a Photo? #SelfieAmbivalence
Popular discourse describing selfies as the "narcissistic"2 practice of teenagers or a tool of personal empowerment, minimize the structural constraints under which selfies operate as a ubiquitous mode of sociality. Based on focus group discussions in two Canadian cities, we explore how young adults describe their selfie experiences and explore three discursive tensions expressed in the transcripts. First, how questions of "control" were taken up…
This Is Not Your Practice Life: Lululemon and the Neoliberal Governance of Self
Cet article s'intéresse à l’énorme réussite de lululemon athletica, et en particulier à la façon dont ses stratégies de marque s'approprient la pratique du yoga pour les intégrer à un modèle consumériste de discipline et de soin de soi. On arguera que la stratégie de marque de lululemon est liée à l'hyperindividualisme néolibéral ainsi qu'aux discours plus généraux de développement personnel qui définissent le bien‐être comme un accomplissement p…

Between Monumental History and Experience: Remembering and Forgetting War in Belgrade
Entre histoire monumentale et expérience. Le souvenir et l'oubli de la guerre à Belgrade Cet article analyse deux « lieux de mémoire » à Belgrade, en Serbie, qui commémorent la guerre et témoignent de la tension existant entre la grande histoire et l'expérience. Les deux monuments, destinés à inscrire dans la ville le bombardement des Nations unies en 1999 et la guerre des Balkans, partagent à la fois le fait d'être des référents presque impercep…
The Serbian Bastille”: Memory, Agency, and Monumental Public Space in Belgrade
This article examines the relationship between memory, agency, and place in a central “ lieu de mémoire ” in downtown Belgrade called Republic Square. On the basis of archival and ethnographic research, the “symbolically charged” nature of the square is examined in terms of how its meaning has fluctuated over time and how it has been appropriated by the state and social actors at various historical moments. The national memory inscribed in the sq…
