Course Title:
Cultural Identities and New Media
Course Number:
CM2027
Course Description:
In recent years, mainly with the advent of digital technology, new media platforms and transnational media networks have become central in the study of cultural identity and acculturation processes. New media is redefining the meaning of cultural identity and shaping the integration experiences of different ethnic migrant groups in European Western societies and elsewhere. The purpose of this course is to unravel the intricate relationships between new media, in, and cultural identity and acculturation through the process of definition, interpretation, and critical analysis. We examine the relationships between new technologies and cultural identity from the perspective of migration, focusing on community networks to explain the new dynamics of connection and bond formation among migrants, and the development of transnational socializing in online environments. Furthermore, we also focus on the analysis of the various ways in which (ethnic) migrant groups and institutions are currently using such new technologies and the implications.
