Contrary to the prevailing narratives of “digital empowerment” and opportunities for every individual, this book argues that digitalisation massively curtails social advancement opportunities, consolidating existing social relations. From a spatial perspective, Scheffer demonstrates how socially disadvantaged groups are faced with reproducing mechanisms as part of a new data economy. Surprisingly, the more intensively digital services are used, the more this happens. Building on Löw´s sociology of space and Bourdieu´s concept of habitus, this book shows how practices of social exclusion are transferred to the digital present in an innovative way. The image of “mirrored” spaces describes a new mechanism that explains social exclusion in the age of digitalization. This book is an essential resource for researchers and students interested in socio-economic inequalities, processes of digitalisation, and digital geographies.Geographies of Media,3005-0138Human geographySocial structureEqualitySociology, UrbanSociologyDigital humanitiesHuman GeographySocial StructureUrban SociologySociologyDigital HumanitiesHuman geography.Social structure.Equality.Sociology, Urban.Sociology.Digital humanities.Human Geography.Social Structure.Urban Sociology.Sociology.Digital Humanities.303.4833Scheffer Jörg503407MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910764300003321Mirrored Spaces3651364UNINA
