Between Mediation and Mediatisation: Identity Dynamics at Play in Online Self-Publishing [Self-Broadcasting] Systems

Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 2

Abstract

Based on research conducted in Belgium for ten years on the identity dynamics within online self-publishing, selfbroadcasting systems, this paper examines the extent to which the ongoing age of self-publishing follows a twofold logic of SelfMediation and Self-Mediatization. After proposing a specific definition of the latter two concepts, the concept of “extimacy” will be implemented to shed light on the dynamics of Self-Mediation and SelfMediatisation.
