Increased connectedness via communication technologies has augmented a re-orientation of diasporic communities toward their homeland enabling stronger links between various agencies, political parties and movements in the states of origin and a revival of national and religious identities of migrants. Transnational media have played a key part in this by enabling a re-connection of diasporic populations with a mediated homeland. One example where this has occurred is in relation to Turkish and Kurdish media and their audience in Europe. Drawing on two different research projects on migrants’ media consumption practices in Berlin, Stockholm and London in 2009 and 2015 in London, I will argue in this chapter that the mediation of the Turkish and Kurdish ethnonational conflict has played a crucial role in the differentiation and fragmentation of political, ethnic and social identities amongst migrants from Turkey. By reporting on the ethnonational conflict and at the same time attempting to mobilise migrants’ identities for conflicting identities, either Kurdish or Turkish, the transnational media make the conflict an integral part of migrants’ everyday lives in Europe. As a result of this, increasingly ethnonational conflict in the homeland has become more dispersed, delocalized and deterritorialized.

Drawing on the work of Hanafi (2001), and Shohat (2006) among others and through the construction of a Palestinian diasporic topography of Malmo, this article focuses on the interrelationship of multiple spaces of action and interaction of Palestinians, locally and transnationally. In addition, given the different identifications and migration trajectories of Malmo Palestinians (originating in the West Bank, Gaza but also Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and beyond as well as belonging to different generational groups) and seeks to address a number of questions such as:

This chapter proposes a critical intervention in digital diaspora studies by foregrounding a relational approach that is inspired by feminist and postcolonial theory. This innovative framework allows us to grasp contemporary human mobility as shaped by and constitutive of an unevenly interconnected world. Relational implies taking into account different perspectives and methodologies on diaspora studies which defy ossified notions of ‘here’ and ‘there’, and of ethnic absolutism but sees diaspora as a continuum that needs to be critically scrutinized in its different manifestations. This holds also for the notion of digital diaspora. Recent buzzwords including ‘the connected migrant’, ‘digital diaspora’, ‘online diaspora’ and ‘e-diasporas’ commonly champion agency, particularly of non-white communities hailing from the Global South. This perspective risks glossing over the ways in which everyday offline and online contexts are steeped in intersecting gendered, racial, classed, generational and geo-political power relations. We provide a genealogy of digital diasporas scholarship in order to counter this lack of critical attention for power differences and material, social and emotional contexts. We will do so by combining media and non-media centric paradigm shifts in internet studies with the several turns and takes in critical digital diaspora studies.
