Special Issue: Migration, Digital Media and Emotion

This month, a special edition of the International Journal of Cultural Studies is published on the topic of Migration, Digital Media and Emotion. Prof. Sandra Ponzanesi and Dr Donya Alinejad (Media and Culture Studies) co-edited the collection.

Migration, Digital Media and Emotion

How are relations of intimacy and care at a distance articulated and experienced through social media? What does it mean to imagine home as a digitally mediated experience? In what unexpected ways are platforms reshaping migrant subjectivities? This collection brings together key themes that integrate the scholarship on migration, digital media, and emotion.

Interdisciplinarity

Drawing from a variety of conceptual, theoretical, and methodological traditions that cross-cut academic disciplines, the articles in this issue explore the emotional facets of digitally mediated migrant socialities in a variety of socio-cultural and geographic locales. These examinations raise questions about how digital media ubiquity shapes global migration experiences and multicultural media publics at various scales.
