[Commlist] New Book: TikTok Cultures in the United States

Tue Mar 21 17:09:10 GMT 2023





Recent book publication from Routledge - "TikTok Cultures in the United States" - edited by Trevor Boffone.

This book delves into the role of TikTok in US popular culture and analyzes the platform's growing body of subcultures. Comprising contributions from scholars across various disciplines, the chapters in this book create novel analytical frameworks to examine TikTok's impact within a distinct context, exploring issues such as gender, sexuality, feminism, race and ethnicity, and wellness. By analyzing TikTok's influence and intersecting with those topics, the book offers valuable insights into how the platform is shaped by users' subcultures and, in turn, shapes users' understandings of their contemporary socio-political environment. This book can be a valuable resource for students and scholars seeking a comprehensive and accessible understanding of TikTok's complex role within the digital landscape.

Currently, the book is being sold with a 20% discount available (enter the code FLE22 at checkout on https://www.routledge.com/TikTok-Cultures-in-the-United-States/Boffone/p/book/9781032246079 <https://www.routledge.com/TikTok-Cultures-in-the-United-States/Boffone/p/book/9781032246079>).
