Optimists assert that the ?digital? promises: new forms of community and ways of knowing and sensing, innovation, participatory culture, networked activism, and distributed democracy. Pessimists argue that digital technologies have extended domination via new forms of control, networked authoritarianism and exploitation, dehumanization and the surveillance society. Leading international scholars present varied interdisciplinary assessments of such claims?in theory and via dialogue?and of the digital?s impact on society, the potentials, pitfalls, limits and ideologies, of digital activism. They reflect on whether computational social science, digital humanities and ubiquitous datafication lead to digital positivism that threatens critical research or lead to new horizons in theory and society. 606 $aPolitical activists 606 $aInternet and activism 606 $aInternet$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPolitical participation$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aPolitical activists. 615 0$aInternet and activism. 615 0$aInternet$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPolitical participation$xTechnological innovations. 676 $a303.4834 702 $aChandler$b David$f1962- 702 $aFuchs$b Christian$f1976- 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910340842803321 996 $aDigital objects, digital subjects$92170354 997 $aUNINA
