(2014). Celebrity Instagram: Tracing the Personal Narrative of Filipino<br /> Celebrities on Instagram, Unpublished Undergraduate Thesis, University of the<br /> Philippines College of Mass Communication.<br /> <br /> This study is a textual analysis of the Instagram photographs of three Filipino<br /> television celebrities; namely Anne Curtis, Vice Ganda, and Nikki Gil. This study aims to<br /> trace each celebrity’s personal narrative by reading and analyzing their photos, as well as<br /> the messages attached to it such as the text of the author and the comments of the readers.<br /> By accessing the Internet and viewing the celebrity’s Instagram content, this study aims<br /> to determine how their personal narrative are manifested. Instagram is a social<br /> networking site that allows its users to present and share their lives in creative ways.<br /> Through the art of photography and digital editing, users are offered countless options to<br /> display their life whether the stories are special events or simply everyday activities.<br /> <br /> This study establishes the different narrative components that build the structure<br /> of personal narrative. An important facet to this is the interplay between the author and<br /> reader of the media text. Through this, the multiplicity of narrative participants emerge<br /> and are questioned according to grounded concepts of earlier narrative studies. The study<br /> is an important tool in understanding online media because narrative plays a constant role<br /> in emerging media forms. To quote Roland Barthes, “narrative is present in every age, in<br /> every place, in every society; it begins with the very history of mankind and there<br /> nowhere is nor has been a people without narrative” (p. 79).<br /> <br /> Keywords: Instagram, social network, personal narrative, author, reader<br /> <br /> View Thesis: http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/flipbook/viewer/?fb=2010-36000-Sawit_Th#page-1<br /> <br /> [[Category:Theses]][[Category:CMC Thesis]][[Category:Department of Broadcast Communication Thesis]][[Category:2014 Thesis]][[Category:Thesis--New Media]][[Category:Thesis--Personal Narrative]]</div>
