Hi Jessika and AoIRs, Here's a helpful, succinct overview of Alice Marwick's thinking in a NYTs' book review of her "STATUS UPDATE: Celebrity, Publicity, and Branding in the Social Media Age" http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/03/books/review/alice-e-marwicks-status-updat... (Yale University Press 2013). She's a Foucauldian. Developing questions from her analytical terms could provide helpful approaches to developing related methods and techniques for interpreting data, where the social media "field" (as place?) at this point is still web pages.

Dear all,
I am preparing to deliver a workshop about how to analyze and interpret the content of a *Facebook post*, specifically from an anthropological perspective.
I've come across quite a bit of literature about the significance of Facebook and social media for contemporary social science research, but little in the way of actual methods and techniques for interpreting data once you return from the field.
If you have any literature recommendations about this I would be very grateful. A focus on anthropology would be great, but of course I'm interested in learning more about how other internet researchers go about this.
thanks,
