Networked Data RelationsNetworks of Support and Dissent: Digital Politics of Indian Diasporas in Germany

27-28 August 2021 
At the two-day symposium “Crisis of Truth? The Digital Era and the Future of Knowledge” hosted by the Academic Writing Lab (AWL) and Department of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), IIIT-Delhi, Jayana Jain will present her paper on the digital networks of support and dissent of the Indian diasporas. Her paper will scrutinize how the performance of migrant digital identities relate to the power relations embedded within the structural, material and affective configurations of social media as politically charged spaces. In doing so, the paper hopes to assess the everyday aporias of Indian diasporas and NRIs in Germany and their vulnerable relationship with the emerging “anti-migrant” nationalist sentiments in India and beyond.
