Introduction: Mediated Intimacies

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

New media technologies and platforms are increasingly intersecting and intertwining with our daily lives, our bodily and intimate practices and our relationships. People find partners via hook-up and dating apps such as Tinder and Grindr, parents rely on digital media to educate their children, teenagers broadcast their intimate bedroom performances via YouTube, activists organise protests on Facebook and Tumblr facilitates new ways of connecting and shaping subcultural identities and communities. Politics, activism, family life, dating and other forms of intimacy are increasingly facilitated and moulded by digital media technologies and platforms, and it has become almost impossible to separate these forms of living and relating from their diverse forms of mediation.
