DESCRIPTION:\n	This episode of Theorizing the Web Presents features two new
  takes on visual culture in social media. In “The Secret Life of Pet Insta
 grams\,” Dr. Jess Maddox demonstrates how pet content on Instagram provide
 s joy and creates communities of care. In “Century of the Selfie\,” Emily 
 Stainkamp shows that\, while selfies may be a relatively new phenomenon\, 
 cultural anxiety about what a “self” should be is at least 100 years old—a
 nd has often historically been connected to the emergence of new media. Th
 e discussions will be moderated by Dr. Johnathan Flowers\, followed by an 
 audience Q&amp\;A. \n\n\n	Join the conversation. \n\n\n	About the speakers
