Korean digital diaspora : transnational social movements and diaspora identity

Lee, Hojeong, 1980- author

2021

Overview

Through a critical examination of the Korean diaspora in transnational contexts as a case study, Korean Digital Diaspora: Transnational Social Movements and Diaspora Identity unmasks the process of how people of the diaspora have built social interactions and communication with others online, how they have orchestrated social movements, and finally, how they have narrated and reshaped their diaspora identities in their everyday lives. Utilizing an ethnographical approach, Hojeong Lee delineates how digital media technology has expanded into a new form of diaspora, digital diaspora, and how it has mobilized the social movements of Korean diaspora members. Accordingly, the diaspora members have begun to imagine their community as a transnational global diaspora. Korean Digital Diaspora concludes that such shifts have also influenced how people of the diaspora define themselves and narrate their diaspora identities. This multisite, three-year study reveals the nexus of media, individuals, and society, highlighting the transnational social movements of diaspora members--back cover.
