Digital EnvironmentsGenerated by AI.This volume explores the evolving forms of collective agency in the twenty-first century, particularly in the context of social movements, digital environments, and cultural practices. Edited by Simone Knewitz and Stefanie Mueller, the book examines critical futures at the intersection of environmental humanities, speculative fiction, and science and technology studies. It highlights the role of collective agency in addressing social justice movements such as Black Lives Matter, MeToo, and Fridays for Future, while also interrogating the influence of corporations, communities, and crowds. With a focus on interdisciplinary analysis, the work sheds light on the challenges and opportunities of contemporary activism, digital technologies, and the aesthetics of collective action. It is an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in cultural studies, social movements, and the dynamics of collective organization in modern society.Generated by AI.AestheticsAesthetics.111.85Knewitz Simone.1278052Mueller Stefanie1850454Arndt Maria1782233Ingwersen Moritz1850455Nitzke Solvejg1354854Schober Regina1850456Temmen Jens1850457MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910946481203321The Aesthetics of Collective Agency4443535UNINA
