Digital Activism and Society: Politics, Economy and Culture in Network Communication
The Digital Activism and Society: Politics, Economy and Culture in Network Communication series focuses on the political use of digital everyday-networked media by corporations, governments, international organisations (Digital Politics), as well as civil society actors, NGOs, activists, social movements and dissidents (Digital Activism) attempting to recruit, organise and fund their operations, through information communication technologies.
The series publishes books on theories and empirical case studies of digital politics and activism in the specific context of communication networks. Topics covered by the series include, but are not limited to:
the different theoretical and analytical approaches of political communication in digital networks;
studies of socio-political media movements and activism (and ‘hacktivism’);
transformations of older topics such as inequality, gender, class, power, identity and group belonging;
strengths and vulnerabilities of social networks.
