Description

In the 21st century, the rapidly advancing convergence of information technology, mass communication, and digital media holds the promise of an era characterized by democratization, interconnectedness, and universal access to knowledge. However, beneath this veneer of progress lie hidden affiliations and insidious convergences that raise troubling questions about civil liberties, human rights, and democratic values. As the intricate web of communication, cooperation, and control becomes increasingly complex, the pursuit of social justice faces unprecedented challenges in this digital age. Spectral Media and Social Justice in the 21st Century is a thought-provoking volume that delves into the heart of these challenges, offering critical insights into the sustainability of social justice in the era of rapid technological advancement. This comprehensive work presents cutting-edge theoretical frameworks and compelling research findings to illuminate the concealed affiliations and obscured motives between "Big Tech," government organizations, and digital and social media. Intended for professionals, researchers, and students across various disciplines, this book investigates the multifaceted dimensions of social justice in the digital landscape. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of information systems, digital and social media, and their impact on human rights, privacy, and democratic processes. The book explores themes such as integrity in information use, disinformation dissemination, excessive surveillance, and collusion, unveiling the disturbing reality of "surveillance capitalism" and its implications for individual autonomy and dignity. Throughout its pages, the book confronts alarming issues that threaten the foundations of a just society, from the manipulation of public opinion and the conscious distortion of truth to unjust discrimination, marginalization, and the rise of "cancel culture." Algorithms, once heralded for their potential to enhance user experiences, are now seen as a source of harmful content directed at vulnerable populations, including children. The insidious specter of "deep fake" media and "fake news" casts shadows on the pursuit of objective reality, while the ominous practice of "shadow-banning" undermines freedom of expression. Spectral Media and Social Justice in the 21st Century is an essential resource for those seeking to comprehend the intricate dynamics of the knowledge society and the digital environments that shape it. By shedding light on the ethical dilemmas of the digital era, this book empowers its readers to critically engage with pressing questions about social justice, human rights, and the future of democracy in an increasingly interconnected world.
