Davies, J.A. (2015) Facebook Narratives. In: Rowsell, J. and Pahl, K., (eds.) The Routledge Handbook of Literacy Studies. Routledge ISBN 9780415816243
Abstract
In this chapter I accept the argument that storytelling is a basic human impulse and suggest that Facebook provides a new medium through which individuals can articulate and share their stories and experiences. I describe how the ‘narrative turn’ in social studies research situates narratives as a process of cultural reproduction and drawing on this perspective, argue that the affordances of Facebook shape stories in ways that reinforce particular cultural meanings.
