Catalog description

Explores ethnographic approaches to digitally-mediated language and the self, examining how social actors acquire the digital skills and communicative norms that make up `digital literacies' across cultural contexts and media ecologies. Topics include linguistic interaction in virtual worlds, media ideologies, technological constraints on digitally-mediated conversation, the role of language in the maintenance of digital communities and protest movements, new forms of meaning-making and affect enabled by the acquisition of digital literacies, and digital research methods.
