Digital Technologies for Sustainable Futures
Author: Chiara Certomà
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040107613
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
This book critically examines the interplay between digitalization and sustainability. Amid escalating environmental crises, some of which are now irreversible, there is a noticeable commitment within both international and domestic policy agendas to employ digital technologies in pursuit of sustainability goals. This collection gathers a multitude of voices interrogating the premise that increased digitalization automatically contributes to greater sustainability. By exploring the planetary links underpinning the global digital economy, the book exposes the extractive logics ingrained within digital capitalism and introduces alternatives like digital degrowth and the circular economy as viable, sustainable paths for the digital era. Through a combination of theoretical reflections and detailed contextual analyses from Italy, New Zealand, and the UK—including initiatives in participatory planning and technology co-design—it articulates the dual role of digital technology: its potential to support socio-economic and environmental sustainability, while also generating conflicts and impasses that undermine these very objectives. Offering fresh insights into power disparities, exclusionary tactics, and systemic injustices that digital solutionism fails to address, this volume also serves as a reminder that sustainability extends beyond climate-related issues, underscoring the inseparability of environmental discourse from wider social justice considerations. Aimed at a diverse readership, this volume will prove valuable for students, researchers, and practitioners across various fields, including Geography, Urban Studies, Sustainability Studies, Environmental Media Studies, Critical AI Studies, Innovation Studies, and the Digital Humanities.

Multifaceted Uses of Cutting-Edge Technologies and Social Concerns
Author: Ertu?rul, Duygu Çelik
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
The multifaceted uses of cutting-edge technologies reshape current organizations, bringing new opportunities and significant social concerns. As technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) become integral, they drive efficiency and enhance connectivity across various sectors. However, these advancements also raise critical issues related to privacy, equity, and ethics. The rapid pace of technological change often comes before the development of regulations, rules, and societal norms, leading to differing opinions on employment, data security, and access to information. Further exploration into this complex landscape may help balance technological progress with social awareness, ensuring that these powerful tools are used responsibly and equitably. Multifaceted Uses of Cutting-Edge Technologies and Social Concerns examines the various uses of new technologies and social factors in healthcare, media, and business sectors. Technologies like AI, machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, and chatbots are posited as useful resources for organizations looking to ensure improved data or media management. This book covers topics such as social media, telemedicine, and data science, and is a useful resource for computer engineers, data scientists, sociologists, psychologists, healthcare professionals, academicians, and researchers.

Digital Citizenship in a Datafied Society
Author: Arne Hintz
Publisher: Polity
ISBN: 9781509527168
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Digitization has transformed the way we interact with our social, political and economic environments. While it has enhanced the potential for citizen agency, it has also enabled the collection and analysis of unprecedented amounts of personal data. This requires us to fundamentally rethink our understanding of digital citizenship, based on an awareness of the ways in which citizens are increasingly monitored, categorized, sorted and profiled. Drawing on extensive empirical research, Digital Citizenship in a Datafied Society offers a new understanding of citizenship in an age defined by data collection and processing. The book traces the social forces that shape digital citizenship by investigating regulatory frameworks, mediated public debate, citizens' knowledge and understanding, and possibilities for dissent and resistance.

The Design of Digital Democracy
Author: Gianluca Sgueo
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031369467
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Ever-stronger ties between technology, entertainment and design are transforming our relationship with democratic decision-making. When we are online, or when we use digital products and services, we tend to focus more on certain factors like speed of service and user-friendliness, and to overlook the costs – both for ourselves and others. As a result, a widening gap separates our expectations of everything related to digitalization – including government – and the actual practice of democratic governance. Democratic regulators, unable to meet citizens’ demands for tangible, fast and gratifying returns, are seeing the poorest results ever recorded in terms of interest, engagement and retention, despite using the most cutting-edge technologies. This book explores various aspects of the relationship between democracy, technology and entertainment. These include, on the one hand, the role that digital technology has in strengthening our collective intelligence, nurturing empathic relations between citizens and democratic institutions, and supporting processes of political aggregation, deliberation and collaboration. On the other hand, they comprise the challenges accompanying digital technology for representation, transparency and inclusivity in democratic decision-making. The book’s main argument is that digital democratic spaces should be redesigned to narrow the gap between the expectations and outcomes of democratic decision-making. It suggests abandoning the notion of digital participatory rights as being fast and easy to enjoy. It also refutes the notion that digital democratic decision-making can only be effective when it delivers rapid and successful responses to the issues of the day, regardless of their complexity. Ultimately, the success or failure of digital democracy will depend on the ability of public regulators to design digital public spaces with a commitment to complexity, so as to make them appealing, but also effective at engaging citizens.

Influencers, Online Alliances and Reconciliation in Southeast Europe
Author: Ivana Stepanovic
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040267475
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
This book explores the transformative role of social media in fostering reconciliation in the former Yugoslavia, a region still grappling with unresolved conflicts and ethnic divides. Focusing on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, it highlights how Balkan influencers blend personal storytelling with commercial outreach to promote interethnic understanding. The study employs digital ethnography and narrative analysis to reveal the intricate dynamics between human actors and algorithms, uncovering how social media facilitate grassroots reconciliation initiatives. The author critiques traditional reconciliation efforts driven by political elites and emphasises the potential of bottom-up approaches enabled by social media. It presents the concept of “algorithmic reconciliation”, where social media algorithms inadvertently foster interethnic collaborations and create transnational online communities. By examining the economic and cultural practices of influencers, the book illustrates how digital platforms can serve as modern arenas for peacebuilding. This book is primarily aimed at undergraduates and postgraduates in social history, digital media studies, and peace studies, but will also be relevant to academics, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and social change.
