New special issue alert: Digital Resilience Within a Hypermediated Polycrisis

[Anabel Quan-Haase]

Dear colleagues and friends,

We are delighted to share information on the publication of our special issue, “Digital Resilience Within a Hypermediated Polycrisis,” published in Media and Communication (Cogitatio Press).

👉 Special issue: https://doi.org/10.17645/mac.i499
👉 Editors: Marc Esteve del Valle, Ansgard Heinrich, and Anabel Quan-Haase

This issue brings together 15 articles spanning more than 17 countries and addressing a wide range of digital resilience phenomena—from Bangladeshi women’s responses to disinformation and online harassment, to community-led technologies countering environmental injustices in Brazil, to the navigation of digital surveillance in later life in Spain. Together, it offers an interdisciplinary, multimethod, and global perspective, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges involved in fostering digital resilience.
All articles are open access and freely available to read and download.
We are very grateful to all 34 authors who contributed to advancing the understanding of digital resilience in the current context of overlapping crises.
