How Social Media Makes Our Lives Smaller
In the posting era, there’s room only for redemption and improvement narratives.
Kathryn Jezer-Morton discusses how social media has transformed the way people perceive themselves and the world around them. In her book, The Story of Your Life, Jezer-Morton examines the role of personal narratives on social media platforms and how they contribute to our understanding of being human. Growing up on a commune in Vermont, Jezer-Morton was always aware that life was a story and that storytelling was an integral part of the human experience.
This foundation in storytelling influenced her approach to social media, where she saw it as a natural extension of the narrative process.
