“…We are especially interested in research which, broadly speaking, investigates ‘the quantification of self’ (see e.g. Fawzy, 2021; Lupton, 2016). Of particular relevance for our study is work that takes a critical approach and focuses on the communicative affordances of beauty apps (Elias and Gill, 2018; Peng, 2021).…”

“…Belonging to an ongoing trend on self-tracking and self-monitoring, such apps ask individuals to track and monitor themselves, giving rise to what has been depicted as the ‘quantified self’ movement (see e.g. Fawzy, 2021; Lupton, 2016; Wolf, 2009). A specific but still extensive part of this trend is what can be broadly labelled as beauty apps , which are defined as ‘aesthetic self-tracking and modifying devices’ designed to ‘analyse, rate, evaluate, monitor or enhance women’s facial appearances’ (Elias and Gill, 2018: 60).…”

“…This would entail the presence of synthesized methods drawn from the disciplines of communication studies and linguistics. Although there is a plethora of research on the analysis of multimodal data contextualized in technological modes of communication, the majority of this research has remained captive of methods grounded in the fields of social semiotics and semio-pragmatics (notably, Kress & van Leeuwen 2006, Fawzy 2021, Salama 2022, Salama & Fawzy 2023 or communication studies (e.g., Mifsud 2019, Kirchenbauer 2020, Beckers 2022 among others); but rarely, if ever, has there been research with methods synthesizing the two fields towards the analysis of technosemiotically mediatized data. (Perhaps, whilst François Cooren's research (e.g., Cooren 2010, 2018, Cooren et al 2017 qualifies as an exception to this generalization, the analysis conducted through his research has been confined to far less complex data sets).…”
