Digital Citizenship in a Datafied Society Polity Press Arne Hintz, Lina Dencik, Karin Wahl-Jorgensen Order here: http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9781509527151 Blog entry: http://politybooks.com/digital-citizenship-in-a-datafied-society/ 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. ---------------- Dr Arne Hintz Senior Lecturer Co-Director Data Justice Lab | Director MA Digital Media and Society School of Journalism, Media and Culture | Cardiff University Two Central Square | Cardiff CF10 1FS Email: HintzA@cardiff.ac.uk | Tel: +44 (0)29 208 76281 | Twitter: @arne_hz Fellow | Center for Media, Data and Society | Central European University
