Affective influence of internet infrastructure on identity construction
I will be studying the national optic fibre network in India as a key site of internet infrastructure. My particular interest in this infrastructure is to investigate whether media infrastructure can influence the process of identity construction. I will be looking at discourse, material relations and affect that emanates from this infrastructure.
