"Sou visto, logo existo": uma análise sobre a exposição pública da vida íntima no Instagram

Abstract

Writing about yourself has always been quite common among people, from old intimate diaries to the latest digital social networks. Assuming that people have always sought to expose their daily life in some way, we see in modernity a constant publicization of the self that increasingly exposes their intimacy, consisting in the disappearance of barriers, which we used to be common sense between public and private space. This paper seeks to analyze the constant exposure of the image and the tendency to construct new identities and ways of presenting - or representing - in the way that they find most appropriate, among the users of the application, the digital social network, Instagram on their platform. In the end, we realized the construction of a great show in contemporary times based on applied research with people who use the application.
