Vakinhoudelijk
Digital technologies have become ubiquitous, pervading our lives even when we are unaware of them. When these technologies and platforms generate information about us, translating all aspects of our lives into digital data, we become ‘datafied’: our identities and actions become track-able, catagoris-able, forecast‐able, transmitt‐able and stor‐able. This datafication not only affects our individual behaviour and sense of self, it also challenges our traditional notion of citizenship, our public sphere as a site of liberal democratic practice, and our sense of community. The Internet here becomes the medium through which citizenship is being channelled and through which citizenship is being constituted: we become participants within a networked society.
In this interdomain course we will explore the unique socio-cultural, ethical, and scholarly challenges posed by digital citizenship from various fields of inquiry such as media studies, journalism, critical data studies, anthropology, political theory or philosophy.
We will also identify tactics by which citizen journalists, artists, designers and networked activists seek to subvert sociotechnical regulations and thus overcome the determinist notion of a passive data subject. We will conclude the course by re-imagining digital citizenship beyond deference and anxiety.
Format
This course is co-taught by Bruce Mutsvairo and Nina Köll.
Each week students will thoroughly prepare for class (portfolio of weekly readings and exercises, mostly individual, some in groups). Students will also learn how to use digital ethnography as a method and how to write a journalistic (investigative) article while drawing on the findings from their ethnographic assignment.
Students will conclude this course with a term paper on a topic of their choice. Active participation in class is expected.
