Current research

My ph.d. project investigates the role that video technologies play in contemporary conflicts. I ask how new digital media technologies, and video technologies especially, come to redefine the (political) dynamics and spatio-temporal dimension of contemporary battlefields. I ask not only what the videos say, but what is said about them in socio-technological assemblages of humans, images, and technologies. To this end, I employ a mixed methods framework with inspiration from actor-network theory that maps the digital relations formed around the online spread of digital videos and investigate their significance through closer qualiative analysis.
