Abstract

This thematic issue examines digital resilience within an increasingly complex landscape of hypermediated, overlapping crises. Situated at the intersection of several research areas—including digital literacy, platform studies, Indigenous media studies, journalism studies, and political science—the thematic issue explores the complexities of digital resilience and seeks to advance its conceptualization and understanding. The issue brings together 15 articles spanning more than 17 countries and addressing a wide range of digital resilience phenomena, from Bangladeshi women’s responses to disinformation and online harassment, to community-led technologies countering environmental injustices in Brazil, to the navigation of digital surveillance in later life in Spain. Together, this issue offers an interdisciplinary, multimethod, and global approach that highlights both the opportunities and challenges involved in fostering digital resilience. In the context of a hypermediated polycrisis, critically assessing how digital resilience can empower people to confront digital threats is especially urgent, particularly for marginalized populations in both the Global North and the Global South.
