In her Friday Funda talk, Nimmi specifically focused on this current research – Facebook usage at the lower socio-economic spectrum in India. Romance, inspired from Bollywood and pop culture, surrounds engagements with Facebook: in profile creation, in friending patterns, in status updates and photo/video uploads. Facebook, amongst these users, is transforming as a space to play, romance and subvert conventions of not only the global social media but also local social conventions. Nimmi’s talk offered ethnographic vignettes and insights about Facebook’s power to stage aspirational fantasies of romance and upward class mobility in the areas of education, skill building and employability.
