The project

Biography

Dayana Lengauer is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Social Anthropology at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (AAS). Her research interests include youth and youth movements, religion (Islam) and social media in Indonesia.

She studied social and cultrual anthropology at Vienna University, where she obtained her PhD in 2022. For her dissertation thesis „Pluralism as Practice: Offline and Online Forms of Sociality in the Technopolitan City of Bandung, Indonesia“, for which she obtained the AAS Doc Fellowship, she studied groups of predominantly student activists and their praxeological conceptualizations of pluralism and interfaith dialogue largely directed at young people in the capital city of the Muslim-majority province West Java. Herein, she focused on the use of social media not only as means of mobilization, but also of intimate address and engagement among so called komunitas perdamaian (peace communities).

Prior to her dissertation project, she conducted research among communities of young Indonesian Muslims focusing on pious practices and online socialities for the FWF-funded project „Islamic (Inter)Faces of the Internet“ at the Institute for Social Anthropology at AAS.

Her current research explores emerging online publics and their impact on Indonesia’s student movement since the 1998 political reform. She is essentially interested in the empirical study of publics that goes beyond the interpretative analysis of online content.
