- Abstract
Images, specifically personal photographs, are key elements on interactions and selfrepresentations that people put on the line in digital socialization spaces. In this article we analize some of the most significant features about self-pictures or selfies shared on instagram, from a critical and gender perspective, contextualizing those results in a whole framework which aims to offer an approach to young people's affective and digital communication model. The study starts from a sample of 403 profiles of boys and girls from different Asturian secondary schools on their 4° secondary compulsory course, in 2014 - 2015 academic year. In order to obtain information from these profiles, different strategies have been used, from direct observation and digital field diary to a computer tool called AUTOGRAM, which monitored and realized pre-analysis of measurable aspects of the collected images. The data obtained were treated in a qualitative manner, following descriptive categories. Evidences shed conclusions around the gender differences detected between boys and girls selfies, also treating the rituality of the "take a selfie" process and sociocultural references detected which point to an specific idea of sexuality.
