Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course is concerned with the discourse-analytic study of social media (including social-network sites, blogs, microblogs and forums). We will examine language (and its interplay with other media, including pictures, music, emojis, etc.) used in various social media genres and on different social media platforms to explain how “produsers” represent themselves, the communities they affiliate with and the ideas they stand for. Embedding situated online interaction in the broader sociopolitical context, we will critically reflect upon the relationships created, and the worldviews negotiated, in contemporary digital discourses – and the question how these insights can be made useful for language teaching.
The course combines mini-lectures, assignments, reading-based group work and discussion, and individual research work leading to a presentation and final written paper (either project paper or bachelor thesis).
