Povzetek

Prispevek proučuje, kako družbeni mediji, zlasti YouTube, uokvirjajo predstavitev identitete, kraja in nastopanja. Družbeni mediji, ki se zanašajo na algoritemske infrastrukture, jih spreminjajo v (hi-per)verzije jaza, nekrajev in izvajanje izvajanja. Že samo dejstvo, da so proizvedeni, spravljeni v obtok in konzumirani prek družbenih medijev, jih veže na širši kontekst poznega kapitalizma.
