Nell Haynes argues that social media is a place where Alto Hospicio?s residents ? or Hospiceņos ? express their feelings of marginalisation that result from living in city far from the national capital, and with a notoriously low quality of life compared to other urban areas in Chile. In actively distancing themselves from residents in cities such as Santiago, Hospiceņos identify as marginalised citizens, and express a new kind of social norm. Yet Haynes finds that by contrasting their own lived experiences with those of people in metropolitan areas, Hospiceņos are strengthening their own sense of community and the sense of normativity that shapes their daily lives. This exciting conclusion is illustrated by the range of social media posts about personal relationships, politics and national citizenship, particularly on Facebook. 606 $aSociety & social sciences$2bicssc 606 $aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography$2bicssc 610 $asocial media 610 $asociety 610 $aculture 610 $aethnography 610 $aAlto Hospicio 610 $aChile 610 $aFacebook 610 $aInstagram 610 $aIquique 610 $aMeme 615 7$aSociety & social sciences 615 7$aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography 700 $aHaynes$b Nell$4auth$0955223 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910773214603321 996 $aSocial media in northern Chile$92160682 997 $aUNINA
