Focusing on the concept of prudence as ethical groundwork for
digital practices and activism, this book considers digital media
expediency and populism as conflicting required experiences that
lead digital citizens to discover activism. It highlights the
importance of digital citizens' experience of 'being-in-the-digital
sphere' and encourages the reader to look at the dynamics of online
movement as a part of a community's search for significance between
the online and offline realms of activism. Based on ethnographic
research about the largest Indonesian online community, Kaskus,
this book uses Indonesian digital citizenship as an example of
online activism in a post-authoritarian state, with media viewed as
a tool for democratic advancement and a catalyst for social
movements among activists, students, and citizens both in Indonesia
and further afield. Set at the intersection of media anthropology,
sociology, Asian studies, and Citizenship studies, this book
considers the shape and future of digital democracy in
post-authoritarian state.
