Abstract

Images, specifically personal photographs, are key elements on interactions and self-representations that people put on the line in digital socialization spaces. In this article we analize some ofthe most significant features about self-pictures or selfies shared on instagram, from a critical and genderperspective, contextualizing those results in a whole framework which aims to offer an approach to youngpeople ́s affective and digital communication model. The study starts from a sample of 403 profiles of boysand girls from different Asturian secondary schools on their 4º secondary compulsory course, in 2014 -2015 academic year. In order to obtain information from these profiles, different strategies have beenused, from direct observation and digital field diary to a computer tool called AUTOGRAM, whichmonitored and realized pre-analysis of measurable aspects of the collected images. The data obtainedwere treated in a qualitative manner, following descriptive categories. Evidences shed conclusions aroundthe gender differences detected between boys and girls selfies, also treating the rituality of the "take aselfie" process and sociocultural references detected which point to an specific idea of sexuality.
