Observing the (re)presentation of self in the social constructed phenomenon of ‘selfie' through sociological lens opens up gate for variety of conceptual and theoretical perspectives. The study aims to make inquiry in complex interplay among body, technology, and social control reflected in selfie.

The chapter intend to develop space for further sociological research that enables the perception of selfies not only as socially constructed phenomenon but also a tool for social control over (re)presentation of self and objectification women bodies in cyberspace.
