Hi Martha, One of my favorite articles to focus on this topic is by Raz Schwartz and Germaine Halegoua, "The Spatial Self: Location-Based Identity Performance on Social Media." It was published in New Media & Society 17, no. 10 (2015): 1643-1660.

Hi all, This looks like a wonderfully active, international community and I am new here, so I am also jumping on the bandwagon with an introduction and request for resources.
For my doctoral research, I am looking at the varied ways that urban-focused instagrammer (sub)cultures narrate, inhabit and experience space and place through their photographic practices/social media activities (the research is qualitative, using in-depth interviews and ethnography). I am also looking at ways that the concept "instagrammable" has created new avenues and imperatives for city- and community-level placemaking initiatives.
I would like to know of any recent articles/research dealing with similar themes; I am especially keen to find out how others have approached Instagram users' (or other platforms) practices qualitatively. I want to make sure I'm not overlooking valuable scholarship that maybe hasn't come across my radar yet, and also to get to know other scholars working in similar methodological/thematic areas.
Any and all recommendations welcome!
Thanks, Martha *** *Martha Coe* *PhD Candidate* *Department of Sociology* *New York University* *martha.coe@nyu.edu <martha.coe@nyu.edu>* *917.454.8202*
