Contrapuntal connectedness: Analysing relations between social media data and ethnography in digital migration studies
Publikation: Bidrag til bog/antologi/rapport › Bidrag til bog/antologi › Forskning › fagfællebedømt
In this chapter, we rethink the relationship between ethnography and so-called big social data as being comparable to those between a sum and its parts (Strathern 1991). Taking our cue from Tim Ingold’s one world anthropology (2018), we argue that relations between ethnography and social media data can be established as contrapuntal. That is, we understand the types of material as different, yet fundamentally interconnected. We explore and qualify this affinity with the aim of identifying potentials and further questions for digital migration research. This chapter is based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out with Syrian refugees and solidarians in the Danish-Swedish borderlands in 2018-2019 as well as data collected for 2011-2018 from 200 public Facebook pages run by solidarity organizations, NGOs, and informal refugee welcome and solidarity groups.
