Section of the American Sociological Association, Volume 10 of the
Communication and Information Technologies Annual, Digital
Distinctions & Inequalities, brings together nine studies of
this increasingly important form of inequality. Drawn from four
continents, the research provides a global overview of the current
state of the field in different cultural contexts. As a whole, the
volume illuminates the complexities of digital inequalities as they
are manifested in groups and societies EURO"even when access is
widespread. In their depth and breadth, the volume's contributions
provide an indispensable guide to emergent forms of digital
inequality as it rapidly evolves.
Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media
Sociology section of the American Sociological Association
(CITAMS), this volume is the second of a two-part series that
celebrates the section's 30th anniversary. Casey Brienza leads the
second of the two volumes - The M in CITAMS@30: Media Sociology -
with former CITAMS chairs Laura Robinson, Barry Wellman, Shelia R.
Cotten, and Wenhong Chen. Volume 18 continues the discussion begun
in Volume 17: Networks, Hacking, and Media--CITAMS@30: Now and Then
and Tomorrow. Both volumes highlight some of the best of the
vibrant, interdisciplinary scholarship in communication,
information technologies and media sociology. Volume 18 develops
the field of media sociology vis-a-vis the roles and impacts of the
digital and traditional media via rich international case studies
that include a broad swath of contexts and cultures. The volume's
authors probe the relationships between inequalities and media, as
well as offering a scintillating array of scholarship on cultural
production and consumption. Assembled together, the work in this
volume showcases the value of interdisciplinary scholarship in the
sociological study of media, communication, and information
technologies. In keeping with the celebration of the thirty-year
anniversary, both volumes open with a foreword by past chair
Wenhong Chen and close with an afterword by past chair Shelia
Cotten.
Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media
Sociology section of the American Sociological Association
(CITAMS), this volume celebrates the section's thirtieth
anniversary. Lead editor Barry Wellman joins forces with former and
current CITAMS chairs Wenhong Chen, Shelia Cotten, and Laura
Robinson, as well as Casey Brienza, founder of the Media Sociology
Preconference, to look back at the history of the section, review
some of its most important themes, and set the agenda for future
discussion. Alongside its sister volume, The "M" in CITAMS@30:
Media Sociology, this valuable book shows the impact CITAMS has
had, and continues to have, on academic and public discourse.
Featuring leading scholars in the fields of sociology of
communication, information technologies and media, it reveals how
the section had transcended disciplinary boundaries, and
demonstrates how it holds the skills to address some of the biggest
challenges of our digital age. It is essential reading for all
those interested in both the story of CITAMS to date, and the role
it will play in the future.
This special volume of Emerald Studies in Media and Communications
is entitled Media and Power in International Contexts: Perspectives
on Agency and Identity. Scholars of communication, media studies,
sociology, and cultural studies come together to examine axioms of
power at play across different forms of cultural production.
Contributing to these fields, the volume highlights the value of
interdisciplinary work and international perspectives to enrich our
understandings of agency and identity vis-a-vis key case studies of
media consumption and production. International contributions shed
new light on the complex ways in which media reinforce and reflect
power in different societal and national arenas. The result is a
rich interdisciplinary and multi-method exploration of how power is
conceptualized and realized through a variety of hegemonic and
discursive practices. The authors' analysis of critical case
studies makes important progress towards closing theoretical gaps
concerning the study of the complex relationships between media and
gender, race, ethnicity, and national identity. In so doing, the
volume contributes phenomenological and epistemic knowledge of
media and power across disciplines and societal contexts.

Sponsored by the Communication and Information Technologies Section
of the American Sociological Association, this volume brings
together nine studies of the digital public sphere. The
contributions illuminate three key areas of digital citizenship,
namely political engagement, participation networks, and content
production. In the first section, authors address relationships
including: new media and efficacy, YouTube and young voters,
political interest and online news. In the following section, the
contributions speak to the importance of participation in social,
scholarly, familial, and support networks. Subsequently, in section
three on production, two contributions offers insight into unequal
production, more specifically, gendered digital production
inequalities and the varied responsiveness of microbloggers to
different kinds of media events and issues. As a whole, the
contributions revisit old questions and answer important new
queries about netizenship and the digital public sphere.
This volume assembles cutting edge research focusing on media and
youth. The volume looks broadly at what is understood by the

separately, and how these continue to develop. The volume features
papers about institutions that shape this part of the lifecourse,
such as the family, school, community organizations. Papers address
this theme from a theoretical and methodological framework.

This comprehensive Handbook explores the multiple ways in which
people experience digital life. It maps the transitions in human
civilization generated by such digital technologies as the
internet, mobile telephony, artificial intelligence, the metaverse,
social media platforms and algorithms. It explores how the scarcity
or abundance of digital affordances impacts access, governance and
livelihoods in various parts of the world. The book’s 27 chapters
are organised in five sections: Social Media and Digital
Lifeworlds; Digital Affordances and Contestations; Digital Divides
and Inclusion Strategies; Work, Culture and Digital Consumption,
and New Media and Digital Journalism. The present and future of
digital transitions are interrogated in the context of everyday
social production and consumption. Â
Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media
Sociology section of the American Sociological Association
(CITAMS), this volume assembles relevant research focusing on ICTs
in Latin America and the Caribbean-two understudied areas of global
importance. Regarding Latin America, the mobile broadband
revolution is taking place and the spread of mobile telephony and
broadband Internet is beginning to reach more economically diverse
populations. Concerning the Caribbean, this region reflects perhaps
the greatest cultural, geographical and linguistic diversity in the
Western hemisphere. Because of historical links with Africa, Europe
and other metropoles and the region's proximity to the United
States and Latin America, the Caribbean offers a unique angle from
which to examine the growth of ICTs. The volume features
international editorial teams with leading scholars from the
Caribbean, Latin America, and North America. Bringing these voices
together, the volume sheds light on how existing policies are
meeting challenges to digital inclusion, as well as the benefits of
connectivity within these societal contexts.

Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media
Sociology section of the American Sociological Association
(CITAMS), Volume 19 of Emerald Studies in Media and Communications
draws on global case studies that examine media use by millennials.
By bringing together contributors and case studies from four
continents to examine millennial digital media practices, the
volume charts out multiple dimensions of Gen Y's digital media
engagements: smartphone use among Israelis, the activities of
Brazilian youths in LAN houses, selfies in the New Zealand context,
and American millennials engaged in a variety of digital pursuits
ranging from seeking employment, to content creation, to gaming, to
consuming news and political content. Through these case studies we
see parallels in the mediated millennial experience across key
digital venues including Twitter and YouTube, and MMOs.
None-the-less, contributors also prompt us to keep in mind the
importance of those millennials without equal access to resources
who must rely on public venues such as libraries and LAN Houses.
Across these venues and arenas of practice, the research provides
an important collection of research shedding important light on the
first generation growing up with the normative expectation to
perform digital identity work, create visual culture, and engage in
the digital public sphere.
The four book series "Technology in Our Time" thoughtfully examines
a broad range of topics and issues central to the study of new
media.
"Volume II: The Stakes of Digital Inclusion" examines patterns of
differentiated use that characterize participation in the
Information Society. The digital divide may be rooted in race,
class, gender, level of education, age, or ability. The volume
moves from a discussion of one society digitally divided, to
seeking solutions that enable the bridging of that divide. Through
the readings students will learn about the internet and social
inequalities, the digital production gap, and differing usage
patterns in rural and urban societies. In a time when digital
access and inclusion can easily be taken for granted, this volume
provides an eye-opening look at the importance of such inclusion,
and the potential consequences of exclusion.

"Volume I: Doing Digital Media" explores emerging forms of self
identification, self expression, and relationship formation in the
online world. The book examines presentations of self, e-neighbors,
the social implications of gaming, cyberbullying, and privacy and
surveillance through readings that open up the discussion of how
lives lived online and in virtual words may lead to communicating
and behaving in ways that differ profoundly from face-to-face
interpersonal interactions. Whether one is searching for love,
openly and passionately tweeting a personal opinion, or expressing
a hidden self through an avatar, doing digital media may well
represent the next phase of how people define themselves and
interact with others. Laura Robinson earned her Ph.D. in Sociology
