Vortrag von Monika Palmberger: »I WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT MY SMARTPHONE«. REFUGEES’ (DIGITAL) CITIZENSHIP FROM BELOW

Monika Palmberger Sending a good-morning greeting with a bouquet of flowers; getting tattoos together; sharing recipes: digital media are crucial for such everyday activities that keep families and friends together when they are separated by forced migration. Validating this, a Syrian woman told me: »I would be nothing without my smartphone«.
