Aloha Patricia, Aloha everyone, I'm doing my research on TikTok and have been needing lots of resources about video-sharing and short-form videos. Your book came right on time! I really appreciate your sharing and I'll buy it. Meanwhile, may I ask whether it's possible to get a *digital version* also? On top of that, I would really appreciate *chapter summaries *please. My mentor and my colleague told me that we had a discussion about *TikTok *research not long time ago? I just joined the channel but I'm happy to chat about TikTok, even though I would hesitate to say I discovered anything grand. I just finished Chinese literature about DouYin (Chinese name for TikTok) weeks ago. Anyway, happy to chat, happy to get a digital version if at all possible, would be thrilled to get chapter summaries please Patricia.

Dear Colleagues
My new book on sociality on YouTube is now out! It is called Thanks for Watching: An Anthropological Study of Video Sharing on YouTube (University Press of Colorado, 2019). The book takes a diachronic approach to analyze how YouTubers share video to promote sociality. The book may be used for teaching themes in new media such as the impact of monetization on video sociality, overstated claims of narcissism, and an exploration of YouTube as a site of the posthuman. Whereas many books about digital media focus on identity performance, this book incorporates the rhythm analysis of Lefebvre to understand interactional dynamics over time.

I'm happy to provide chapter summaries for anyone who is interested. The discount coupon code is LANG19 if the book is purchased from the University of Colorado Press in the next few days.
