Drawing on anthropological approaches, as well as theories of mobility and migration, this paper deals with issues of identity, isolation and otherness in a recent Greek film which has generated multiple popular and critical responses and interpretations.

(2015) ‘An online ideal world which reality can no longer meet’? Technology, fiction and identity in the era of social media’

Presentation at NECS Graduate Workshop: Fictional Technologies & Technologies of Fiction, Poland.

Do we still consider social media as not being a real dimension of ourselves?

Can we create a fictional condition by using social media in order to deceive about our real situation?

Drawing on anthropological approaches and visual studies, this paper engages with the key concepts of technology, fiction, reality and identity, and offers a preliminary model for understanding the complex interaction between people and social media.
