Anika Lieblang explains how patients develop coping strategies in the digital space and what potentials can result from media-mediated communication for the interaction between experts such as doctors or nurses and sufferers.

In our project »Krebs@Internet« we investigate how cancer patients use digital media to cope with the psychosocial stress of their disease. We are interested in the speech acts of the patients – we analyze a study corpus regarding cancer narratives of affected persons unsing internet videos with the help of different transcription methods and pay particular attention to identity constitution, addressing and self-positioning, rhetorical figures as well as content-related topoi.

The event is part of the "Digiloglounge Digital" series of talks on the topic of »Krebs@Internet«.

In the discussion series »Digiloglounge Digital«, the experts of »digilog@bw« offer an insight into their digital research topics and scientific projects and answer questions in the ZKM livestream!

Exciting articles as well as further experts chats can also be found in the blog on digilog@bw.
