Annotation
Social media are one of the main channels of societal communication, impacting (pop)culture, politics, religion and many other areas of social life. The course offers an overview of concepts and methods for studying social media qualitatively.
It is rooted in the perspective of digital anthropology and digital ethnography, respectively. It focuses on the formation of identities and communities on social media and everyday user practices.
The first part of the course will explain the fundamental concepts in anthropological study of social media and the second part will provide an overview of research methods including practical examples.
