For many refugees  from the Middle East, the most valued item out of their few belongings  is a smartphone. In these extreme situations having access to a  smartphone and with it to the Internet could mean the difference between  life and death. Even when refugees have arrived at their destinations,  smartphones enable refugees to access wide areas of information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This  can support refugees finding some kind of security and predictability  in the new unfamiliar environment, but can also create new forms of  insecurity, including the risk of being misled. Trust and confidence in  information sources become decisive strategies in order to manage  situations of unfamiliarity and risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This touches upon a special \nconcern in our project, that is, to analyze the role of modern \ncommunication technologies such as smartphones and other mobile and \npersonal media for refugees in migration flows. Our point of departure \nis that offline and online communications constitute specific situations\n and require different resources in order to establish stable social \nrelationships that are based on trust. How do communication technologies\n such as smartphones and other mobile and personal media condition trust\n building in refugee migration, and vice versa?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By linking media  and migration research to the theoretical concept of trust and distrust  as developed by Niklas Luhmann, we will employ individual interviews  with Arabic speaking refugees (at least 20 interviews in each country,  Sweden and Germany), meaning a life story based investigation that  encourages reports of personal experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will analyze entries  made on social media, including images posted on Instagram or other  photo sites in order to look at how life stories are narrated in social  media. We will conduct a survey among our interviewees in order to  obtain background information about media use. A PhD project is aimed at  adding a historical perspective by exploring former refugees\u2019 media  use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-616","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
