Le selfie et ses différentes formes : l’amour de soi et le corps en morceaux

subject

description

Taking care of one’s body by exercising or by use of a body care is nothing new, but an increasingly important place is given to it nowadays, as it is shown by the enormous growth of sport centres and numerous advertisements for cosmetic products. Another form of this interest in oneself has recently developed with the increase in selfies (egoportraits in Quebec French) all over the world or almost. Nonetheless, the selfies have rapidly become varied and these innovations and their neological denominations, essentially Anglo-American ones, are exactly what we propose to study in comparison with the French, the Polish and the Czech. The common press articles allowed us to discover these new forms and the following research of these on the Internet have facilitated the way to find others. However, not all of them are used and we take into account their occurence in the general press of the three languages as well as on sites listed by search engines.
