Abstract

This paper explores how new Greek migrants construct their identities in social media discourse, using a discourse-centred online ethnographic study of five migrants in the UK and Germany. The analysis reveals hybrid and multifaceted identities, negotiated through stance-taking, intertextuality, entextualization, and coupling. The study highlights the socio-cultural dimensions of new Greek migration, often overlooked in economic and political analyses, and verifies social media's potential to increase awareness of migrants' (dis)identification processes.
