<\/a>A critical look at influencer culture.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\nSocial media has generated a growing aspiration among young people: to become an influencer as a synonym for personal success. However, this idealised narrative, driven by the algorithms of digital platforms, hides less visible realities such as self-exploitation, frustration and constant comparison with lives far removed from everyday reality.
\nThis talk will analyse the idealised myths portrayed on social media, the consequences for content creators, and alternatives for rebelling against platforms that exploit users’ dreams for their own benefit.<\/p>\n
The importance of critical thinking.<\/strong>
\nThe activity aims to provide the university community with tools to question digital myths and reflect on how they affect identity construction. For the speaker, \u2018instead of democratising access to fame and money, what has really been democratised are false illusions.\u2019
\nIn this way, the UMH Library reaffirms itself as a space for dialogue and knowledge, promoting analysis of the social and cultural challenges posed by the digital age.<\/p>\nDate and time<\/strong>: Wednesday, 29 October<\/strong> 2025, at 5:00<\/strong> p.m.
\nLocation:<\/strong> UMH Library<\/strong> \u2013 Elche<\/strong> Campus
