DIGITAL MEDIA AND REFUGEEHOOD IN CONTEMPORARY A...

This book focuses on the resistance practices digitally enacted by a group of refugees in the
context of the Australian detention policy. Drawing on critical-  multimodal- and
ethnographic-discursive analytical research  the author brings to the fore the digitally
mediated lived experiences of detained refugees as articulated from Australia-run offshore and
onshore detention facilities. The book unveils how refugees' self-representation and
counter-discursive practices on social media aim to dismantle the dehumanizing  exclusionary 
and obliterating anti-refugee rhetoric that pervades political and media landscapes in
contemporary Australia. It will be of interest to academics and students in fields including
Digital Migration Studies  Refugee Studies  Digital Media Studies  Corpus Linguistics and
Critical Discourse Studies  including Multimodal Critical Discourse Studies  and Discourse
Ethnography.
