Difference, Dialogue and Negotiation: A Study of Identity and Subjectivity in Social Networks

  1. Research Scholar, Department of English, University of Calicut

In postmodern and poststructuralist discourses subject is theortized as alread-always decentered, fragmented and partial and identity as contingent and provisional. With our increased interaction with World Wide Web, Subjectivity and Identity assume more complex metamorphic forms.This paper seeks to explore a theoretical space for “internetted subjectivity” and “digital identity” and studies how digital identity and 'real' identity interact, intersect and invert each other. Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google + grow as potential metaphor for the permeanent partiality and inter[netted] subjectivity in our times. Here social networks serve as a site to enquire and interrogate these concepts.
