But many are unrealistic and contribute to a pervasive sense of never being good enough: not thin enough; not pretty enough; not cool enough. Try too hard and you risk being condemned for being ‘attention-seeking’, don't try hard enough and you're slacking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosalind Gill challenges polarized perspectives that see young women as either passive victims of social media or as savvy digital natives. She argues the real picture is far more ambivalent. Getting likes and followers and feeling connected to friends feels fantastic, but posting material and worrying about 'haters' causes significant anxieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGill uses young women's own words to show how they feel watched all the time; worry about getting things wrong; and struggle to live up to an ideal of being 'perfect' yet at the same time ‘real’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the wake-up call we all need.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlso available as an audiobook.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-title collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-content collapsed\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosalind Gill\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at City, University of London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-title collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-content collapsed\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Perfect: Feeling judged on social media\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Life on my phone\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Picture perfect: The power of images\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: The beauty industry on my phone\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Being watched, judged and harassed\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: The work of being social\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Fear of getting it wrong\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Feeling judged\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wiley Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40335341486178,"sku":"9781509549719","price":580.26,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1279\/5591\/files\/1509549706.webp?v=1773041088","url":"https:\/\/elexacademicbookstore.co.za\/products\/perfect","provider":"Elex Academic Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
