The politics of pleasure – The digital story of the nativity
There are several funny videos on Youtube depicting the story of the nativity by using Facebook and/or other social media updates. By foregrounding particular identities, hegemonies and politics while marginalizing others, the Internet reproduces geo-political but also racial, gender and sexual privileges while at the very same time for example Facebook’s rhetoric suggests that we can connect worldwide without any social boundaries giving it an empowering and liberating potential. The Internet is an ideologically laden network and the digital story of the nativity is a nice example of that.
