The Narrated Self.

What narratives are told by people who use digital media as instrumentsand stages for storytelling or make them the subject of storytelling? This question is at the center of this article, which is based on a secondary analysis of the study "Communicative Public Spheres in Cyberspace", which included net actors and bloggers from different parts of the world. Six narrative types were identified: Networking narratives, self-presentation narratives, merchant and seller narratives, boundary management narratives, transformation narratives, break-up narratives and break-out narratives. These narrative types are analyzed from the perspective of intersubjective and narrative-theoretical approaches.They represent responses to biographical and socio-cultural provocations and provide insights into the yearnings of the net generation, their search for orientation and their subject constructions. In the narratives, the digital media not only reveal themselves as instruments of storytelling, they also shape the what and how of storytelling.
