Course: Online Communication and Religious Nationalism
Recent events such as the success of right wing politics in
an atmosphere of vitriol- and anger-induced social media
communication have led to critical engagement with online
politics and citizen participation worldwide. But when we zoom
into specific communicative practices, questions arise: does
trolling work the same way everywhere? What role do South
Asian languages such as Hindi, Urdu, and English play to
establish ways of communicating via online platforms?
