Influencer Aesthetics: Excess, Wellness, Ordinariness and Sensations
May 9, 2022 (4-6pm BST) on Microsoft Teams
This two-hour event brings together researchers approaching the phenomenon of influencers and the question of influence from a media aesthetics point of view.
Each contribution, in the first hour, taps into a particular dimension of influencer aesthetics. Grant Bollmer (NCSU) and Katherine Guinness (QU) look into issues of excess that characterise social media performances. Rachel O’Neill (LSE) draws on her research into wellness as a cultural practice and industry. Mari Lehto (Turku) puts the question of ordinariness into discussion in reference to Finnish lifestyle influencers. Finally, Yiğit Soncul (Winchester) examines the sensations associated with ASMR and discusses how its aesthetics extend from the visual to auditory and haptic. The second hour is designed as a moderated discussion open to all the contributors and attendants.
