instagramming space and place
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!

Dear Martha (and others that might be interested in the topic), I am writing my dissertation on liveness in the mediatized experience of events and devoting a chapter to space and place and one to visual presencing. On the first topic I have written a chapter for a forthcoming edited volume Locating Imagination: Popular Culture, Tourism and Belonging. It is not out yet, but I can of course share my thoughts and perhaps drafts (I am awaiting the first review) with those interested. In the past two years I have intensively studied three events as case studies using online and offline observations, interviews and scraped data sets. I would love to discuss methods with you! Those interested can follow my project on ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/project/Liveness-coming-to-life-the-mediatized-... and on http://www.hva.nl/liveness Best regards, Esther Hammelburg MA Lecturer and PhD Candidate www.hva.nl/liveness <http://www.hva.nl/liveness> ________________________________________ Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences Faculty of Digital Media and Creative Industries Rhijnspoorplein 1, 1091 GC Amsterdam M +31 (0)6 2115 7019 @eehammelburg P please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to!

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 Martha, all, If you have not come across the work of Yi Fu Tuan yet as part of your doctoral research, I recommend you take a close look at his book "Space and place" re. environmental experience: https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/space-and-place Best, Sandrine Prom Tep, Ph.D. Professeure agrégée, Département de marketing Associate Professor/Marketing Department Ecole des Sciences de la Gestion/Business School Université du Québec à Montréal 320, rue Sainte-Catherine Est, Montréal (QC), H2X 1L7 promtep.sandrine@uqam.ca T.: 514 987-3000 x1032 - Bureau DS-2825 On Fri, Feb 22, 2019 at 1:27 AM martha coe <mlc443@nyu.edu> wrote:

Hi Martha (and all others!) I'm also a doctoral researcher conducting fieldwork about Instagram. I'm looking at women who participate in producing, sharing and viewing #fitspo images (meaning fitness inspiration, but looking broadly at any content related to fitness/health etc). I'm nearing the end of my fieldwork, and have used a mix of ethnography (training/going to the gym with the women, and asking them to show me how they take images for Instagram) and in-depth interviews, where I ask them to show me and talk me through their Instagram profile and feed. I have a researcher account where I share (with consent!) the images the women have taken and provide little updates on how it's going for anyone interested (@LRMresearch https://www.instagram.com/lrmresearch/). As of yet I haven't published anything, but would love to get to know more about your research and anyone else who is working in this area! I've found the work of Crystal Abidin, Jessica Ringrose, Katie Warfield and Katrin Tiidenberg particularly useful in terms of thinking about methodology/social media. Sarah Pink's work has also been very helpful in thinking about ethnography and images.

Hey All, Last Spring I published an article in the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy that traced how one LGBTQ youth used Instragram and StoryMapJS to stream a sonic walk. In the methods section I detail how the participant used the affordances of the locative media (Instagram) and how I accounted for transitions in space/place in field work. Here's a link to the article: https://www.academia.edu/36299299/_SoundingOutMySilence_Reading_a_LGBTQ_Yout...
