selfies, masculinities, smartphones, performanceAbstract
The article explores how the selfies promote hegemonic masculinities in cyberspace presented in the most popular relationship application around the world, Tinder, and how these men relate to the smartphone to manage male performances from self-image. It seeks to comprehend how gender and subjectivities build the self by the habitus shared among men and how these identities can be perceived by the image in the construction of a profile in a mobile device application. Through a multisite ethnography, ten profiles were analyzed from August 2015 to March 2017. The study is a contribution to the field of masculinities and gender identities crossed by the online network.References
