It examines how young people construct their identities in various social contexts: social, fantasy, role-playing; and for various social purposes: leadership, learning, power, rebellion and romance. It explores the ways youth are deploying both visual and literary cues to develop a full sense of presence online and to effectively communicate with their peers. Using methods of textual, visual, and socio-psychological analysis, this book illuminates the ways in which young people are making sense of their own identities and their place within broader communities. %K Literacy, Virtuelle Gemeinschaft, Technology, Culture, Jugend, Internet, Interaktion, Soziale Identität, Education, Youth, Identity, Learning, Linguistic %G English
