Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
‘Who are we’ when we are online? What do we do? How are these activities related to what we do when we are offline? How do the answers to these questions differ across geographical contexts? These are some of the key questions that we will address during the seminar. The question of how we use digital media and this use’s transformative effects are situated within emerging trends from ethnographies of such media that challenge the idea of a universal and homogenous experience around them. During the seminar, we will discuss identities connected to diverse experiences and practices across several regions of the world, ranging from those arising through the use of social media to those in digital health and gaming among others. We will focus on how difference is produced in the digital spaces under analysis and, within those, users’ agentic formations within and across the societies in question.
