Conclusions: on Doing Digital Migration Studies
No full textThis volume addressed how migrants navigate their being in the world, crossing national borders, shaping new forms of diasporic affiliations and transnational belongings, while facing new forms of surveillance, control and datafication. We took as a starting point the main premise that the relationships between digital media technologies and migration / mobilities cannot be captured within the limited confines of single disciplines. Aiming to animate an interdisciplinary exchange, we therefore purposefully invited contributors from various fields and areas of expertise, including media, communication, geography, anthropology and sociology, to share their perspectives on (studying) migration in relation to digital media technologie
Doing Digital Migration Studies: Introduction
No full textIn our contemporary world, migration and digital technologies mutually shape one another. They have historically always been intertwined, yet their dynamic relationship is constantly evolving. People on the move mediate their being and belonging in increasing conditions of datafication and digitization. Mobile devices, social media platforms and smartphone apps are used to shape the transnationally connected, and locally situated, social worlds in which migrants live their everyday lives. Connecting with friends, peers and family, sharing memories and information, navigating spaces and reshaping the local and the global in the process illustrate the proliferation of migration-related digital practices
Digital Passages: Migrant Youth 2.0. Diaspora, Gender and Youth Cultural Intersections
No full textIncreasingly, young people live online, with the vast majority of their social and cultural interactions conducted through means other than face-to-face conversation. How does this transition impact the ways in which young migrants understand, negotiate, and perform identity? That's the question taken up by Digital Passages: Migrant Youth 2.0, a ground-breaking analysis of the ways that youth culture online interacts with issues of diaspora, gender, and belonging. Drawing on surveys, in-depth interviews, and ethnography, Koen Leurs builds an interdisciplinary portrait of online youth culture and the spaces it opens up for migrant youth to negotiate power relations and to promote intercultural understanding

What is European about Homonationalism: Thinking through the Italian Case
No full textWhile nationalisms have traditionally relied on heteronormative regimes of sexuality, recent analyses show that homosexuality is being currently assimilated by Western nationalist projects. The term 'homonationalism' has been coined by Jasbir Puar to designate this phenomenon. Within Europe, analyses of homonationalism have generally deployed a national focus. This chapter also centres on a national context (i.e., the Italian one). Nevertheless, it aims at overcoming what Ulrich Beck has called "methodological nationalism". Therefore, it considers the European dimension of homonationalism as it emerges in the entanglements between Italian social movements, Italian institutions, and European institutions
Ow god, die snobs zien ons weer aan voor een levend laboratorium: participatief internetonderzoek over/met Marokkaans-Nederlandse jongeren
No full textThis article covers participatory Internet research strategies with Moroccan-Dutch youth. As the Internet is not a singular entity, informants were stimulated to research with the author the variety of their digital experiences by inviting them to draw an Internet map. Additionally, inviting informants to save and select instant messaging conversation transcripts enabled the collection of non-publicly accessible Internet communication. Not only do these strategies facilitate a bridging of the gap between researchers and informants, they are also useful to make informed decisions about what to include and exclude in the study of digital culture
