A cultural inquiry into the selfie and self-presentation
Ilan Stavans places the selfie within a long history of self-portraiture and self-fashioning, connecting contemporary image-making to references from Greek mythology, Shakespeare, Andy Warhol, James Franco, and Pope Francis. The book considers the tension between the selfie’s apparently casual immediacy and its use as a crafted public presentation of the self. Alongside Stavans’s cultural commentary, a portfolio of fifty autoportraits by artist AD gives the subject a visual dimension, pairing ideas about identity and performance with photographic work.
