Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the phenomenon of online social networking in the contexts of a global multicultural society caught in the turmoil of the information and communication revolution. This volume responds to the fast-moving nature of social media networks to provide academics and practitioners insights on related topics from an interdisciplinary perspective. It offers readers an up-to-date overview of the field and pushes the area into new understandings of the topic within a multidimensional space.
