The first and definitive major text on personas in contemporary cultureModern social media and communication technologies have reshaped our identities and transformed contemporary culture, revealing an expanded and intensified reforming of our collective online behavior. Billions of people worldwide are increasingly engaged in the production, presentation, and modification of their public selves-curating personas through various social media and fundamentally altering how we interact in the twenty-first century. The study of persona is essential to understanding contemporary culture, yet literature in this emerging field is scarce. Filling a gap in current knowledge, Persona Studies: An Introduction is the first major work to examine the construction, delivery, and curation of public personas in contemporary online culture.This timely book helps readers navigate the changing cultural landscape while laying the groundwork for further research and application of persona studies. Three case studies are included-examining personas of the artist, gamer, and professional-to illustrate how personas continue to transform identity and reshape contemporary culture. From the historical precursors of the current iteration of persona to emerging configurations of public self, this unique work offers readers a broad introduction to the evolving theories and concepts of how persona defines the contemporary condition and its relation to technology and collective identity. This important new text:* Analyzes how identities linked to data are cultivated, curated, and mined for various purposes* Discusses the mediated blending of media and different types of interpersonal communication* Explores tools for the investigation and analysis of persona, including prosopographic field studies and information visualization* Translates new research, concepts, theories, methods, and approaches into clear case studies and applications* Examines the personalization of public, private, and intimate information in the building of new personasPersona Studies: An Introduction is an innovative resource for students, academics, researchers, and professionals in fields covering digital and social media, technology and culture, mass media and communications, social and media psychology and sociology, and professional studies.
