This cutting-edge book explores the diverse and contested meanings
of ''citizenship'' in the 21st century, as representative democracy
faces a mounting crisis in the wake of the Digital Age. Luigi
Ceccarini enriches and updates the common notion of citizenship,
answering the question of how it is possible to fully live as a
citizen in a post-modern political community. Employing an
international, multidisciplinary framework, Ceccarini brings
together the findings of continental political philosophy and
history, and contemporary western political science and
communication studies to advance our understanding of political
motivation and participation in the present day. As new
participatory and monitoring dynamics of online citizenship
redefine the very form of public space, this timely book addresses
the values, creativity and aspirations through which social actors
engage with a networked society, making use of technological
innovations and new forms of communication to participate in
post-representative politics. A provocative call to action in an
era defined by distrust, disillusionment and digitization, this
book is crucial reading for scholars and researchers of political
science, sociology and communication studies, particularly those
seeking a thoroughly modern understanding of digital citizenship.
It will also benefit advanced political science students in need of
a historical overview of the concept of citizenship and how it has
developed under the auspices of the Internet.
