Abstract "Personal but Not Private explores how queer women share and maintain their identities through digital technologies despite overlapping technological, social, economic, and political concerns. Focusing on representations of sexual identity through Tinder, Instagram, and Vine, Stefanie Duguay uncovers how queer women are continuously engaging in identity modulation, or the process through which people and platforms adjust or modify personal information, to form relationships, increase their social and economic participation, and counter intersecting forms of oppression. This book also considers the implications of identity modulation for a broader range of people negotiating digital contexts and suggests tangible changes to digital platforms that can empower individuals in their personal sharing on social media."--Page 4 of cover.
