Zhang Yueran ist eine der wichtigsten literarischen Stimmen Chinas. In ihren Romanen Cocoon und Schwanentage erkundet sie familiäre und gesellschaftliche Konfliktlinien, thematisiert Schuld, Erinnerung und Verantwortung. Im Gespräch reflektiert sie über China im Umbruch, über Generationenkonflikte und transgenerationales Trauma. Wie schafft sie es in Romanform mit der Kulturrevolution umzugehen und was hat chinesische Geschichte mit einer Pizza zu tun? Und warum müssen Feminismus und Me Too in China zusammen mit sozialer Ungerechtigkeit gedacht werden? Antworten darauf gibt es im Böll-Podcast. Anschließend ordnet die Literaturkritikerin Katharina Borchardt Chinas unterschiedliche literarische Epochen ein und erklärt den Unterschied zu Literatur aus Japan und Südkorea.

The conversation touches on viewing interculturality as an emerging imaginary, Yolanda’s work on digital influencers in Germany and their so-called “migratory experience”, the case of German windows, the obsession with lüften (airing an apartment or house), and Yolanda’s theoretical concept of the “e-maginary”.
So, will intercultural digital influencers eventually replace guidebooks and intercultural trainings?

Intercultural communication is often understood as something that takes place whenever different cultural backgrounds collide and are manifested in social interaction. Although common, this perspective might very well lead to dangerous stereotypes and assumptions, to highlight differences instead of building common ground. In this episode, Kaisa Laitinen (University of Jyväskylä) invites Malgorzata Lahti and Margarethe Olbertz-Siitonen (University of Jyväskylä) to shake up various viewpoints regarding intercultural communication.

In der heutigen Podcastfolge tauchen wir tief ein in ein Thema, das oft übersehen wird – aber essentiell ist, wenn wir gute Coaches sein wollen: kulturelle Unterschiede im Coaching.🌍
Denn was für uns ganz selbstverständlich erscheint – zum Beispiel, dass wir Menschen individuell nach ihren Zielen fragen – kann für andere Menschen völlig befremdlich oder sogar übergriffig wirken.🤔
Wir sprechen über die westlich geprägten Grundannahmen im Coaching – wie Individualismus, Selbstreflexion, direkte Kommunikation und flache Hierarchien – und darüber, warum diese Haltung nicht immer passt.
Denn: Deutschland ist kulturell vielfältiger als je zuvor. 🇩🇪🧕🏾👨🏻🦳🌈
Und nicht nur Herkunft oder Religion spielen dabei eine Rolle – auch Milieus, Generationen und soziale Prägungen beeinflussen unser Denken und Handeln.

Language(s): English
In this episode, Luisa Conti and Roman Lietz explore how individuals and communities are evolving in a postdigital and globalized society.
We begin with a reflection on the freedom of movement that characterizes the digital space: our plural and dynamic identities unfold day by day, click by click, in a culturally hybrid space where the local becomes increasingly less relevant and defining. However, even in the digital space we are confronted with limits: picking up the discussion from the first episode, we examine key factors that frame our (inter)actions online. While some of these apply to everyone, such as algorithms, others manifest themselves in varying ways: introducing a multi-dimensional understanding of the 'digital divide', we give hints about how the quality of postdigital life differs between people. This difference is rooted in social inequalities which, we argue, are both reproduced and actively reinforced in the digital space, not least through the discourses that emerge in anti-pluralist filter bubbles, which gain power by offering simplistic explanations for complex phenomena. After describing the mechanism we have observed in social media, we reflect on the importance of intercultural competence in dealing constructively with unfamiliarity and uncertainty. After presenting a new understanding of intercultural competence, we conclude the podcast with a call to rethink the internet as a whole.

In this episode of the ReDICo Podcast, Fergal Lenehan and Yolanda López García explore key concepts of digital intercultural communication. At the heart of the discussion is postdigitality, which highlights the merging of the analog and digital worlds.
Platforms play a crucial role in this postdigital era and are transforming our everyday reality. A major focus of the discussion is how algorithms can shape our freedom. The episode emphasizes the importance of questioning their influence critically and engaging with them consciously. We also delve into postdigital cosmopolitanism, which promotes openness to the world and solidarity across national borders. The concept of "agency" – individual power to act – is re-examined in the context of digital intercultural communication. Finally, the episode offers a preview of the next topic, where identity and culture will take centre stage.

Opposing digitality and AI: citizens' practices

Julia Dahlvik
Podcast
Language(s): English
In this episode we explore a topic that has come up in all our case studies in the different world regions, even though in different forms, namely opposition and resistance to the state’s increasing use of digital tools and AI. From South Africa to Canada, from the Caribbean to South Korea – everywhere there are at parts of the population that do not necessarily agree with how their public administration digitalizes and automates its services. Scholars agree that modern society functions as a complex human-machine social system, where machines are not merely tools but active participants in shaping social outcomes. This presumption becomes particularly prevalent in the context of citizen-state interaction, where a power imbalance is already inscribed. In this episode we thus look at citizens’ resistant practices vis-à-vis governments’ use of technology.

So, is the vernacular web simply a nostalgic-conservative imaginary of the past or is it, actually, a suitable imaginary for re-thinking the future of digitality, beyond the stranglehold of corporate platforms?

Can the Internet, a tool which can potentially connect people rather than contributing further to polarization, really be rethought for the future in a more cosmopolitan manner?

Language(s): English
While historical research is comfortable working with
primary sources from the deceased and works well to
reconstruct narratives and imaginaries, historical internet
research must adapt to engaging with the liveliness of the
research subjects. Despite the experiential and conceptual
distance between contemporary internet research and web
materials from the 1990s, there are overwhelmingly strong
connections that put people at risk of harm through
engagement with decades-old material. A feminist ethics of
care for archived web data might thus insist on new ways of
engagement with the creators of materials held in web
archives. Bringing participants into the research about
their own digital traces is more than just obtaining
informed consent; it also creates opportunities to design
methodologies that involve participants’ eagerness and
excitement over revisiting, remembering and unearthing their
digital traces, and significantly, exploring opportunities
for reclamation.

Chat-Foren, Social Media, Online-Communities – das Internet bietet viele Adressen und Bezugspunkte, die sich als „digitale Räume“ umschreiben lassen. Man kann dort Gleichgesinnten begegnen, sich informieren, seinen Interessen nachgehen – oder aber sehr gezielt bestimmte Personengruppen identifizieren und sogar kontaktieren. Die soziale Arbeit tut dies. Sie hat, angeführt durch Pioniere eines „Digital Streetwork“, das Internet als Zugangsmöglichkeit zu schwer erreichbaren oder besonders vulnerablen Zielgruppen entdeckt. Und obwohl gerade kleine, spezialisierte Netzwerke die Sozialarbeiter als Ergänzung und Entlastung (oft ehrenamtlicher) Content-Moderatoren schätzen und unterstützen, ist aufsuchende digitale Kommunikation noch nicht in der Breite sozialer Arbeit etabliert. Spezifische Kompetenzen, die „digitale“ Sozialarbeiterinnen und Sozialarbeitet für ein glaubhaftes und vertrauenswürdiges Auftreten in Netz-Communities brauchen, sind kaum Teil der Ausbildung. Politische Unterstützung und öffentliche Nachfrage laufen nur langsam an. Allerdings sind auch die Interessen und Geschäftspraktiken großer, kommerzieller Plattformen nicht unbedingt kompatibel mit den Bedingungen für eine seriöse, an professionellen Standards orientierten Sozialarbeit.

What is the purpose of libraries in the era of the internet and AI? Whether at a school or in a community, libraries used to be key providers of information and enjoyment for many. But now, in a digital age, more books and periodicals are available online than even the biggest library can hold. If terabytes of text can now be stored on a single laptop, do we need to think differently about the way we access and navigate books? Could well-designed AI tools be trusted to make sense of this information abundance in a similar way that a good librarian can?

This webinar focuses on the themes and issues in Part III of The Ethics of Researching the Far Right: The Haunting Past: Memory and Far Right Studies. In this webinar, the contributors consider how collective memory and heritage are appropriated and mobilised by the far right in order to project their ideologies across history. They reflect, further, on the ethical obligation of archaeologists, historians, social scientists, and heritage workers to recognise the political nature of their research, to debunk the far-right’s narratives of past and present, and to condemn white supremacy across history. At a time when research in the field is increasingly presentist, they demonstrate that we must absolutely engage with wider historical contexts if we are to understand the current resurgence of far right movements and parties. The contributions look at and reflect on these issues in relation to the politics of the field, research methods and, crucially, their identities and experiences as researchers.

Why have our new right-wing overlords taken such a shine to chintzy, shiny AI slop? What is persuasive about these phony, artless, slightly desperate images? How do they originate, and how do they circulate? For this episode, Moira and Adrian are joined by Roland Meyer, who is a professor of digital cultures and arts at the University of Zurich and the University of the Arts in Zurich, Switzerland. If you're trying to picture the kinds of image they're discussing, it might be helpful to check out Roland's huge thread on Bluesky. And if you're trying to follow along with our discussion of specific images, we have collected a bunch of the examples we discuss in the episode here.

AI as Knowledge Capture and Colonial Landgrab - Communicative AI-Lecture with Prof. Dr. Nick Couldry

Language(s): English
This talk reflects on AI from the perspective of the framework of data colonialism (Couldry and Mejias, 2019). AI, in practical terms, represents the application of a hugely increase in computing capacity, but from the perspective of data colonialism as the continuation of five centuries of colonialism’s interlocking relations with capitalism is just the latest in a long series of colonial landgrabs. AI treats the whole world of human communicative production as its data territory (Mejias and Couldry, Data Grab, Penguin/Fischer February 2024). But AI’s territorial expansion is broader than the platform-based capture of social life that until recently fuelled data colonialism. Without denying the scientific power of AI for specific calculative goals, AI as a business vision captures the domain of knowledge and aims to convert it into a new domain whose parameters fit more closely within corporate control. Examples of new AI territories such as education will be discussed.
