Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
In this seminar we will look at anthropological research that deals with the social and cultural dimensions of the ‘digital’ and digitality, following different theoretical and methodological approaches. We will discuss how digital media and digital technologies affect differently positioned people and how they are integrated into their lifeworlds. Through reading relevant literature, we will map the main research areas of digital anthropology, e.g. migration and global hierarchies, smartphones, online politics, gender and social media. Finally, we will discuss how different digital technologies, such as AI, algorithm, social and mobile media inform our understandings of being in the world, such as perceptions of place, temporality and sociality. By situating technological development historically, we will be able to identify continuities and ruptures in central anthropological themes and theories.
