Facebook. Self. Authenticity. Identity. ConsumptionAbstract
One starts on one side from the theoretical assumptions related to the symbolic interactionism and a conception of thesocial selves; and from the other side from empiric data obtained by means of application of a questionnaire and theconduction of interviews with informants who have individual profiles in the Facebook, in order to discuss matters relatedto perceptions of authenticity and (un)fitting between selves on and offline. Based on the analysis conducted, it is proposedthat there are different levels perceived of ruptures in this process based on the performances of the social players, whichwould characterize different types of profiles. Furthermore, one discusses the importance of the symbolic affiliation of theconsumption in this environment as an identifying marker.
