230205 Investigating Language and Gender: A Focus on Social Media (S) (SoSe 2025)

Contents, comment

The seminar delves into the vibrant interactions among language use, gender identity, and digital communication, investigating how gender is formed, negotiated, and contested within online environments through various linguistic practices, including the influence of emojis, hashtags, memes, and discourse patterns across social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Tik-Tok, and Instagram. By integrating viewpoints from sociolinguistics, gender studies, and media analysis, the course encourages critical dialogue on topics like digital activism, representation, and power dynamics. Through case studies and collaborative projects, students will examine real-world data to comprehend the changing relationship between language, identity, and technology in the digital landscape.
