Instagrammatics and digital methods: studying visual social media, from selfies and GIFs to memes and emoji

Tim Highfield, Tama Leaver · 2 Jan 2016

Visual content is a critical component of everyday social media, on platforms explicitly framed around the visual (Instagram and Vine), on those offering a mix of text and images in myriad forms (Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr), and in apps and profiles where visual presentation and provision of information are important considerations.
