| SUMMARY: |
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. |
