This study focuses on nationality and ethnicity in the context of diaspora and media studies. By exploring the ways members of the Persian community in Israel (migrants from Iran to Israel) negotiate their ethnic Persian identification, I discuss the unique role online spaces play in the community's cultural, political, and social life. I draw on the case study to propose the term “Lived Ethnicity” as a digitally mediated identity construction process that works towards sociopolitical inclusion on two levels. First, as a user‐based participatory process, this type of self‐articulation pushes against cultural and political oppressions on a local–national level, within dominant oppressive discourses of nationality. Second, as a process performed via global online platforms, this type of self‐articulation becomes a unique catalyst for communal expressions that are based on trans‐national cultures and identifications. The study's novelty is its focus on the ways online platforms allow ethno‐national minorities to both subvert oppressive national structures and maintain them, all while taking part in global political and cultural discussions that were relatively closed to them thus far.

明确表达伊朗和以色列之间的波斯身份：在线媒体中的国籍，侨民和居住的种族

这项研究集中在散居和媒体研究的背景下的国籍和种族。通过探索以色列的波斯社区成员（从伊朗到以色列的移民）谈判其波斯民族认同的方式，我讨论了在线空间在社区的文化，政治和社会生活中发挥的独特作用。我参考案例研究，提出“生活的种族”一词，作为一种数字化的身份建构过程，旨在在两个层面上实现社会政治包容。首先，作为基于用户的参与过程，这种自我表达在主要的压迫性民族话语中，在地方-国家层面上反对文化和政治的压迫。其次，作为通过全球在线平台执行的过程，这种基于自我表达的自我表达成为基于跨国文化和认同的公共表达的独特催化剂。这项研究的新颖之处在于，它关注在线平台允许民族少数群体颠覆和压迫民族结构的方式，同时参与了迄今为止相对封闭的全球政治和文化讨论。
