This
special issue explores the role that digital technology plays in the lives of
migrants. It does so by paying close attention to governmental and
supranational organizations as well as to subjective and affective dimensions
of the everyday. Digital migration practices emerge as complex negotiations in
the digital media sphere between infrastructural bias and agential opportunities,
contesting racial practices as well as enabling digitally mediated bonds of
solidarity and intimacy. The issue offers nuanced critical perspectives ranging
from surveillance capitalism, extractive humanitarianism, datafication, and
border regimes to choreographies of care and intimacy in transnational
settings, among other aspects. Renowned international scholars reflect on these
issues from different vantage points. The closing forum section provides
state-of-the-art commentaries on digital diaspora, affect and belonging, voice
and visibility in the digital media sphere, queer migrant interventions in
non-academic settings, and datafication and media infrastructures in “deep
time.”
