*Call for Papers - (In)Equalities and Social (In)Visibilities in the 
Digital Age – Journal Interações*

The influence of new technologies in public and private spheres of 
society, rather than a reformulation, has given rise to a new social 
field and directly interferes with how we perceive the world, relate to 
it and others. In Pierre Bourdieu's (2001) theory, field arises as a 
configuration of socially distributed relations.

Progressively, a universe of socialisation has emerged and consolidated: 
cyberspace. Although virtual, it exists and produces effects. It can be 
defined as the space boosted by the different digital communication 
platforms and assumes itself as an individual communication model, 
allowing the receiver to be simultaneously emitter. Space of flows 
(Castells, 1996), cyberspace translates the social dimension of the 
Internet enabling the diffusion of communication/information on a global 
scale. This causes an intense process of inclusion and exclusion of 
people in the network.

The reference to info-inclusive and info-excluded societies of the 
digital scenario is imperative when it is reflected in the geography of 
the new socio-technological spaces. The dynamics of these territories 
are directly associated with the way social, demographic, economic and 
technological variables condition each other, revealing the potential 
for dissemination of information and knowledge through technologies.

In this special issue of the journal Interações we propose a reflection 
on (In)Equalities and Social (In)Visibilities in the Digital Age. 
Unpublished works that present research results and/or theoretical 
reflection on this theme are accepted (although this special issue is 
not limited to these topics):

- Digital and social and economic inequalities in different geographical 
contexts;
- Promoting equality by digital;
- Visibilities and social invisible created by movements of exclusion or 
social inclusion, digital, media, economic, etc.;
- Invisible social groups in the digital age;
- Digital literacy and vulnerable social groups;
- Digital as a geographical barrier;
- Conditioning created by technology to the individual in a social context.

Deadline for submission of articles: June 25
Notification of acceptance: July 10
Publication: July 31

The articles must be sent via email: (interacoes /at/ ismt.pt) 
<mailto:(interacoes /at/ ismt.pt)>

Guidelines and other instructions for authors can be found on the
