Module 4: Intersectional Digital Space
We live in a time and space where offline and online communication are merged; the digital space is part of our everyday life. These spaces come with their own problems and limitations. How do we understand the internet as not neutral in shaping digital culture and society at large?
Through an intersectional, decolonial lens, we examine what and how new technologies function, for us to explore the algorithm, codes, grammar, inter-faces, and images that produce an ‘Other’ and reproduce structural racism through descriptions, images, figures, and profiles.
How do we understand the grammar of the internet, algorithms, and data?
How does media make images of ‘us’ and the ‘other’?
How do social media and new digital spaces function and influence the way we see ourselves and each other?
As users of the internet, social media and digital spaces in everyday communication, how can we safely and consciously navigate that digital space?
How can we re-appropriate digital spaces for ourselves, for transformative purposes and liberative expressions? Is it possible?
