Saved from Oblivion: Documenting the Daily from Diaries to Web Cams

Abstract

In Saved from Oblivion, Andreas Kitzmann raises the question of the place of self-documentation media, namely the personal diary, the home camera, and the networked web-cam. For him, different media places engender different reactions from the user. The book fulfils its objectives, but the author could have explored more thoroughly some issues.
