The practices of participation and engagement are characterised by
complexities and contradictions. All celebratory examples of uses
of social media, e.g. in the Arab spring, the Occupy movement or in
recent LGBTQ protests, are deeply rooted in human practices.
Because of this connection, every case of mediated participation
should be perceived as highly contextual and cannot be attributed
to one (social) specific media logic, necessitating detailed
empirical studies to investigate the different contexts of
political and civic engagement. In this volume, the theoretical
chapters discuss analytical frameworks that can enrich our
understanding of current contexts and practices of mediated
participation. The empirical studies explore the implications of
the new digital conditions for the ways in which digitally mediated
social interactions, practices and environments shape everyday
participation, engagement or protest and their subjective as well
societal meaning.
