This book explores sharenting-the widespread practice of parents or caregivers sharing information about their children online-and explores how this pervasive digital practice is reshaping childhood, parenting, and family life in a networked society.Offering a transdisciplinary framework that integrates legal, sociological, psychological, and communication-based perspectives, the book examines sharenting from the micro-level of family life to the societal macro-level. It conceptualizes sharenting simultaneously as a communicative practice, a mode of identity construction, an evolving set of family rituals, a source of intergenerational conflict, and a regulatory challenge, among other dimensions. It also addresses emerging dynamics such as influencer parenting, datafication, children's vulnerability as data subjects, and the growing risks associated with technologies that enable synthetic media, including deepfakes.With contributors from Central-Eastern Europe, the Baltic States, Turkiye, and the Global South alongside Western scholars, the volume provides a rare comparative view of the interaction between global platforms and locally situated forms of parenting and governance. The book will appeal to scholars and students interested in parenting in the digital world from a range of disciplines: sociology, media studies, psychology, law, socio-legal studies, communication studies, childhood and youth studies, and family studies.

En la última década, Instagram ha pasado de ser un mero repositorio de imágenes a una red social de amplio reconocimiento, hasta convertirse en parte importante de las nuevas culturas digitales internacionales. Las características propias de esta plataforma, sus configuraciones, prestaciones y funcionalidades, han dado lugar a fenómenos mediáticos y digitales de gran interés.En este sentido, Instagram ha replanteado fenómenos digitales como la (auto)representación, la influencia digital y el activismo en red, por medio de una constante adecuación a las nuevas generaciones y necesidades de los usuarios. Una de las claves de su éxito radica en la amplia disponibilidad de elementos comunicativos que fomentan la interacción y la creatividad, adaptando formatos preexistentes en otras plataformas. Estas características, que cimientan la cultura del contenido generado por el usuario, crean también un contexto donde se desarrollan usos problemáticos relacionados con las posibilidades de la plataforma para la manipulación de la información o la privacidad, entre otros.Este trabajo explora las singularidades de esta red, de acuerdo con el modo en que se construyen y difunden temáticas propias del siglo XXI. Desde un análisis de los temas que marcan tendencia en Instagram, las autoras describen algunas de sus prácticas sociales, cuyas implicaciones van más allá de la esfera digital. Por la novedad de su temática, Instagramming. Temas, tópicos y tendencias es una obra emergente de interés para estudiantes, académicos y profesionales de los medios de comunicación.
