Popis: The images and pictorial practices referred to as ›selfie‹ are symptoms among others that illustrate the relevance of image-based forms of self-expression in contemporary society. The article discusses the question of which social and media conditions bring about the need for pictorial face-work for individuals. Particular attention is paid to the reconstruction of social problems that arise with photography as a technical medium in the 19th century, as well as to the specific solutions in the field of self-styling that address these problems. It turns out that the outlined relationships are still of great importance, since self-stylizations, even in the context of computerized communication, essentially is based on photography as a medium of representation.
