This book presents an ethnographic study of social media in Mardin, a medium-sized town close to the Syrian-Turkish border inhabited mainly by Sunni Muslim Arabs and Kurds, that has been transformed in recent years by urbanisation, neoliberalism and political events.
Elisabetta Costa explains why public-facing social media is more conservative than offline life. Yet, at the same time, social media has opened up unprecedented possibilities for private communications between genders and in relationships among young people. She also shows why an ethnography reveals a very different picture of political participation on social media than has been reported by other studies.
This book is available as a free open access PDF from ucl.ac.uk/ucl-press. Print copies are also available.
