“…This special collection provides a primer on digital migration studies in Europe. The emergence of the field and focus of digital migration studies is marked by the growing circulation of academic buzzwords, including “connected migrants” (Diminescu, 2008), “e-diasporas” (Diminescu, 2008), “mediatized migrants” (Hepp, Bozdag, & Suna, 2011), “digital diasporas” (Brinkerhoff, 2009; Everett, 2009; Gajjala, 2008), “diasporas in the new media age” (Oiarzabal & Alonso, 2010), migrant “feedback mechanisms” (Bakewell, Engbersen, Fonseca, & Horst, 2016), “digital togetherness” (Marino, 2016), “ICT-based co-presence” (Baldassar, Nedelcu, Merla, & Wilding, 2016), “migrant polymedia” (Madianou & Miller, 2012), “virtual intimacies” (Wilding, 2006), and “transnationalism online” (Sahoo & de Kruijf, 2014) among others. In this section, we seek to chart what the field wants, what the field of digital migration studies wants to see, where it came from and where we feel it is heading.…”

This Special Collection "Forced migration and digital connectivity in(to) Europe" historicizes, contextualizes, empirically grounds, and conceptually reflects on the impact of digital technologies on forced migration. In this introductory essay, we elaborate digital migration as a developing field of research. Taking the exceptional attention for digital mediation within the recent so-called "European refugee crisis" as a starting point, we reflect on the main conceptual, methodological and ethical challenges for this emerging field and how it is taking shape through interdisciplinary dialogues and in interaction with policy and public debate. Our discussion is organized around five central questions: (1) Why Europe? (2) Where are the field and focus of digital migration studies? (3) Where is the human in digital migration? (4) Where is the political in digital migration? and (5) How can we de-center Europe in digital migration studies? Alongside establishing common ground between various communities of scholarship, we plea for non-digital-media-centric-ness and foreground a commitment toward social change, equity and social justice.

“…The diaspora line of research shows that the media transmit social capital (Peeters & D’Haenens, 2005) and facilitate the integration into a new majority culture (Clement, Baker, Josephson, & Noels, 2005; Soruco & Pinto, 2010). Most importantly, it demonstrates that the uses of host and home media constitute a complex process of acculturation and identity construction (Hepp, Bozdağ, & Suna, 2011). Migrant audiences use the media for both fitting in with the host society by assuming its values (Clement, Baker, Josephson, & Noels, 2005) and reinforcing their own ethnic values and identities at the same time (Alzouma, 2012; Clothier, 2005; Croucher & Cronn-Mills, 2011; Hopkins, 2008; Ogan & D’Haenens, 2012; Oh, 2012; Trebbe 2007).…”

Abstract. Culture is an important dimension to consider in media psychological scholarship, though to date little media psychological research exists that takes culture into account. This paper systematically reviews existing studies of the relationship between culture and media uses/processes/effects and identifies six fields of research: uses and gratifications, social identity, acculturation, diaspora communication, cross- and intercultural communication, and international media markets. The majority of this research is fragmented to the extent that separate approaches and findings of the two pillar disciplines of media psychology (psychology and communication) are not integrated: the social identity and acculturation literature approaches the relationship between culture, media uses/processes/effects from an exclusively psychological angle, using predominantly psychological theories and quantitative methods. Diaspora communication, inter-and cross-cultural communication, and international media markets research is dominated by communication theories and qualitative methods. A theoretical model is presented that integrates concepts of culture into media psychological scholarship on both a supra-individual macro-level (drawing on constructs such as individualism/collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance) and an individual micro-level (drawing on constructs such as social identity, self-construals, values, and beliefs).

“…This Russophone world outside and inside the previous Soviet Union context maintains economic ties, often digitally (Morgunova, 2012). As a result of globalization and technological development, the physical human encounters in communication are shifting more towards mediated encounters (Hepp et al 2011). The communication is no longer limited to a particular physical space or region, which enables diasporic communication and participation and more intense links to the country of origin, but also communication within a country.…”
