Distinct ways of being among Southeast A sia’s youth, including their hopes, aspirations as well as their affective expressions, are constituted on, in, and through social media. Especially d uring the lockdowns of the Corona Crisis at the turn of the decade, new loc al platforms, like TikTok, gained popularity and were integrated into the e volvement of far-reaching social movements. While we can observe the emerge nce of fragmented trends like the online and offline contestations of what it means to be Muslim among young people in the metropoles of Indonesia, we also witness more encompassing trends such as the emergence of transnation al K-pop fandoms. On this basis, social media have also increasingly proved to be a means for bringing together actors from very different backgrounds , for instance, in the course of organizing protests among students in the streets of Bangkok and Hong Kong in July 2020. In this panel, we seek to di scuss how youth cultures in Southeast Asia are constituted, politicized, an d/or depoliticized on, in, and through social media. Beyond this topical fo cus, we are particularly interested in research that explicitly brings toge ther online and offline approaches to the field. We thus encourage theoreti cal and methodological reflections on bridging onlineand offline perspectiv es. In a similar vein, we also welcome contributions dealing with ethical q uestions related to research in, on, and of social media platforms in South east Asia.
