Drawing on Rosso (1999), Jerslev introduces the concept of the 'scandal of anachronism' - not acting ones age, not adhering to the norms of ones age. #PersonaStudies2019

This is a bit binary for me...

A little bit delayed in getting this out there. I presented the opening Keynote at the #personastudies2019 conference at Newcastle University entitled Persona Studies' Future: Disciplinary Intersections and the new Era of the Negotiated Public Self.prezi.com/lto8npiptxio/?…

Day 2 of #personastudies2019: Keynote from David Giles on "Jung, theories of self and digital culture"

My slides on mapping the David Marshall's VARP model into Twitter with VARP rosettes from #personastudies2019 researchgate.net/publication/33…

Giles citing Harré (1983) prior to social media, there were 'file selves' that represented the individual on paper as a proxy for the physical self. Echoed Gergen's 1991 notion of the disembodied, distributed 'saturated self' #PersonaStudies2019

#personastudies2019 panel on "Persona and politicised leadership" will start with Joshua Gulam on "Save the world with Matt and Ben". M Damon and B Affleck that is!

Tereza Zavadilova on "Pope Francis: Regilious leadership in the times of credability in crisis" is looking at the persona of the Pope when the Vatican is under challenge and how they communicated #personastudies2019

After the discussion of religion we enter more standard politics with Yehan Wang's "The Representation of Chinese and British political leaders in news propaganda: Theresa May's official visit to China" #personastudies2019

After lunch I am at a #personastudies2019 panel on Persona and politics, lead with @bethanyusher on "Networked politics: persona, populism and the press"

More on Trump from Rebecca Lawrence on "Trump vs Clinton: A cross platform persona performance during the 2016 Presidential Campaign" #personastudies2019

Final speaker at #personastudies2019 - Helena Bassil-Morozow's "Trickster Narrative as a Genre: Persona, Disruption and Recovery"

Thanks to all at the #personastudies2019 for a great discussion of research into #personastudies from many fields. I see a great future on this field!

So #PersonaStudies2019 was a pretty awesome start to what will hopefully be an ongoing conference series. I was struck by how applicable the concept has been, flexible to new contexts without losing its coherence or structure. 1/-
