What is it about?
This is the conclusion to my first research monograph, entitled New Forms of Self-Narration: Young Women, Life Writing and Human Rights (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020). In the conclusion I recap the major findings in this volume. Among the case studies analyzed throughout the book one key festure shared by all of them might be that young women resort to social media as well as traditional media as part of their ongoing life-writing project.

Why is it important?
The phenomenon of virality is explored to cast light on the affordances that facilitate synergies among significant social and political actors on the global stage. It does not offer a completely positive view of the digital, but states the possibilities that the combination of online and offline methods offers and opens the door to future explorations in novel forms of narrating the self.
Perspectives
New Forms of Self-Narration addresses the strategic use of names, labeling and tagging. Each chapter underscores the multiplicity of approaches to testimony and mediation these young women activists take, showcasing relevant trends in twenty-first-century life writing.
