	abstract = {<p>This article employs multimodal discourse analysis to explore how mothers represent their everyday experiences of motherhood on Instagram through different forms of self-portraiture. It investigates whether the {\textquoteleft}selfies{\textquoteright} that they share can be characterized as a visual genre and identifies four subgenres: presented, mirrored, inferred and implied selfies. The article illustrates the different ways in which the photographer{\textquoteright}s perspective can be represented in each subgenre. The aim is to show that the function of the selfie as a multimodal genre is not solely to represent {\textquoteleft}the self{\textquoteright} but rather to enact intersubjectivity, that is, to generate various possibilities of relations between perspectives on a particular topic, issue, or experience and hence to open up potential for negotiating different points of view.</p>
