metadata.value: The article is devoted to the analysis of the features of the creation and communication of
  older people through photographs and visual content in social networks. Based on the “objectcentric”
  approach proposed by B. Latour, the article analyzes the mechanisms of communication
  of older people through the creation of memories in visual images in social networks,
  as well as mechanisms for overcoming loneliness by them. The empirical basis of the study
  is biographical interviews with older people from St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region
  (N = 30) in which they talked about their experiences and the meanings of visual images
  and photographs through which communication and interaction with other users of the social
  network takes place and which allowed them to minimize the state of loneliness. Also,
  the study used the method of digital ethnography, during which the communication of older
  people and the content of visual content was examined, a total of 1000 photos and posts were
  analyzed. The study revealed that visual images of older people in social networks construct
  a single whole necessary for the invidualization of the personality of an older person. Visual
  images can be used by older people as a means of achieving community, or they can act as a
  self-defense mechanism and a necessary fulcrum when, with the help of visual images, people
  seek to minimize and stop the negative consequences of loneliness and age-related changes.
  Also, it is the communication that takes place through visual images in social networks that
  contributes to the creation of a therapeutic effect for the older and the expansion of the circle
  of communication.
