Zoom into Lunch & Learn about ... Indigenizing Platforms: Perspectives on Facebook from Island Melanesia

Submitted by Tanis Dagert on September 21, 2020 - 11:40am

Platform studies explores the explosive proliferation of Internet organizations such as Facebook and what it means for social, cultural, political and economic life today. This new field of inquiry has largely focused on the platformization of Euro-American and Asian lifeworlds while often ignoring especially indigenous voices and experiences. We challenge Platform Studies to be more inclusive accounting for experiences such as those that we encountered during our ethnography of digital transformations in Solomon Islands.
