 Did you know that we take more photos now in one minute than we used to in the entirety of the 19th century? And you know most of those are selfies. My name is Katrin Diedembeck and I'm a postdoctoral researcher at Ohus University School of Communication and Culture. At the Festival of Research, I'm going to talk about selfies. Now, why would scholars even talk about selfies? What is so interesting about selfies? What is special about selfies? Is there anything special about selfies? Are they just narcissistic and artistically banal and pointless and just generally bad tone? If you want to find out, come to the Festival of Research in Ohus on April 27th.
