They consider aspects such as the new visual social media aesthetics, the rise of Influencers and new visual economies, and the complex politics of the platform as well as examining how Instagram's users change their use of the platform over time and respond to evolving features. The book highlights the different ways Instagram is used by subcultural groups around the world, and how museums, restaurants and public spaces are striving to be 'Insta-worthy'. Far from just capturing milestones and moments, the authors argue that Instagram has altered the ways people communicate and share, while also creating new approaches to marketing, advertising, politics and the design of spaces and venues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich with grounded examples from across the world, from birth pictures to selfies at funerals, \u003ci\u003eInstagram\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for students and scholars of media and communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTama Leaver\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Internet Studies at Curtin University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTim Highfield\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of New Media at the University of Amsterdam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrystal Abidin\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Internet Studies, Principal Research Fellow, and ARC DECRA Fellow at Curtin University.
