Digital Politics of the Visual Global Age

Digital Politics of the Visual Global Age builds on analogous interrogations and, in concept, on the foundational works of scholars such as Manuel Castells (1996, 2004, 2011), who sketched and debated the rise of digital and information technologies and how it transforms economies, societies, and cultures into interconnected network structures, with varied impacts across different cultural contexts, and Henry Jenkins (2006, 2009), Mizuko Ito, and Danah Boyd (2016), who observed how participatory culture, facilitated by digital media, transforms education, youth engagement, media consumption, and social participation, emphasizing the need for new media literacy and the diverse impacts of these cultural shifts.
