Abstract
How do diasporas fight
on social media when their homeland is at war? This talk will present f
indings from a study about young Armenians aged 18–35 in seven nat
ions and their involvement in online information wars during the 2020 Ka
rabakh conflict. I examine their motivations for engaging in social medi
a activism, strategies and methods of promoting the Armenian narrative,
vision of the online opponent, and perceived outcomes of their efforts.
Besides investigating this recent case of diaspora youth mobilizing on s
ocial media during armed conflict, the study offers broader conclusions
about youth, social media, and participatory warfare. I demonstrate how
social media enable participatory war that is transnational, monologic,
empowering and escalatory, involving individual and networked tactics, a
nd culturally and politically transformative.
