  • 1.  "Latin American Cultures on TikTok" - online satellite roundtable event (Nov 8)

    Dear community friends!

    The TikTok Cultures Research Network (TCRN) is excited to announce our second online satellite roundtable event, "Latin American Cultures on TikTok" or "Culturas Latinoamericanas en TikTok," featuring bilingual availability in Spanish and English through live translation.

    While extensive research has explored the experiences of creators and related industries on this popular platform from the perspective of Western countries and dominant regions, the field of TikTok research in other parts of the world is emerging, promising novel perspectives for comprehending the platform. Therefore, this event is centered around TikTok and Latin America and brings together the perspectives of academics, creators, and industry professionals in and from the region, exploring the experience of the Latin American diaspora, indigenous communities, and mainstream creators. Join us for this discussion as we unpack the complexities of platforms, cultures, and content creation!

    This 2.5-hour event will feature two roundtables:
    Roundtable 1 will focus on Latin American indigenous cultures and environmental activism on TikTok. Speaker bios here.
    Roundtable 2 will focus on the (in)visibility of Latin American diasporas and cultures on TikTok. Speaker bios here.

    This event is organised by Daniela Jaramillo-Dent, Tom Divon, and Natalia Orrego and hosted in collaboration with the Media Change and Innovation Division at the University of Zurich, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.

    The full programme is available here.
    The poster is available here.
