The making of the #dmi19 group picture 💻💾😃

The Digital Methods Summer School 2019 has ended. Thank you all for your wonderful contributions! #dmi19

Final presentations of the second and final week of the Digital Methods Summer School 2019! #dmi19

This has led to a proposal for a memetic tribe card game to explore these different positions which will be further prototyped next week. #dmi19

The “political compass” group explores memetic tribes across platforms and their positioning, including left/right, authoritarian/libertarian, dank/normie. #dmi19

Next up: How does Rebel Media act as agenda builder in Canadian media landscape and how do algorithms facilitate this development? Analysis suggests comments are very people-centred. Topic modelling used to explore most prominent themes and concerns. #dmi19

The next project looks at alternative interpretations of history on 4chan, including Kali Yuga, with @o_i_l_a_b. #dmi19

Next project on BreadTube, exploring practices and networks across YouTube and Reddit with @alexgekker @angelesbriones et al. They analysed themes (climate change, transgender), symbols (liquid props), theatricality and more. #dmi19

The project looked at Telegram as a “safe space”; imagined affordances of the platform; how it gathers users affected by deplatforming; and how outlinks from Telegram suggest decreased relevance of Instagram/Facebook. #dmi19

Next project asks: How can we study Telegram from a digital methods perspective? Two approaches: a crossplatform approach and an in-platform approach. #dmi19
