Dr Rosie Findlay and Rosalind Jana in conversation with Dr Agnès Rocamora

Personal style blogs have attracted much interest since they first began populating the blogosphere in the mid-2000s. The possibilities the form offers individuals to style a commercial and creative selfhood has led to much scholarly debate as well as media criticism. Yet while style blogs provide a stage for the performance of a styled self, they also afford an intimate space for the public thinking-through of a self becoming. The affective dimensions of this practice as well as the kinds of bodily labour and performance it entails form the focus of this unique event, presented collaboratively by the Cultural and Historical Studies Hub and the Fashion Media and Imagery Hub at LCF. Taking as their starting point Dr Rosie Findlay’s new book Personal Style Blogs: Appearances that Fascinate, Dr Findlay and Rosalind Jana, digital editor of Violet magazine, writer and style blogger whose experiences are featured in the book, will discuss their own experiences of blogging and digital intimacy in conversation with Dr Agnès Rocamora, Reader in Social and Cultural Studies at LCF.
