Paper will be an ethnography focusing on Instagram. Chose to focus on a subcommunity of Instagram called the RSA. (royal snapping artists)
The RSA is a group on Instagram which posts and discusses photos of a country setting. Rural background.
The question will be this subgroup of Instagram (or any subgroup) can be considered a discourse community. Calls it a literary community, does it meet the standards of the DCs we considered in class. Does it have the goals and features.
