[Commlist] Call for chapters. Digital Inequalities in Multicultural Contexts: A Global Perspective

Fri Apr 09 19:18:01 GMT 2021





The co-editors are glad to announce CFP to the new book /Digital Inequalities in Multicultural Contexts: A Global Perspective/ edited by Elena Vartanova (Lomonosov Moscow State University), Anna Gladkova (Lomonosov Moscow State University) and Shi-xu (Hangzhou Normal University).

The book will be submitted to Routledge, and if everything goes well will be published as part of the Cultural Discourse Studies Series:
https://www.routledge.com/Cultural-Discourse-Studies-Series/book-series/CDSS

The book will discuss digital inequalities minor ethnic and cultural groups across the world face today – in regard to access, skills, and benefits from using ICTs, i. e. three levels of the digital divide that have been previously identified by scholars. Using specific case studies from different multicultural societies around the world, we will show how these inequalities affect cross-cultural communication from a cultural discourse studies perspective, as well as what impact digital divide can have upon people’s identities, languages and cultures.

We will show in this book that regardless of national specifics and current peculiarities of communication systems, there are challenges all multicultural/multi-ethnic societies are facing nowadays under ongoing digitalization process. The primary aim of the book therefore is to show how multicultural societies across the globe are developing under the challenges brought by digitalization (digital exclusion, new forms, levels and domains of the digital divide, new professional and personal demands in terms of digital engagement, etc.), and how multicultural discourses are developing in this new context.

If you are interesting in proposing a chapter to the book, please send us a short abstract (500-750 words) before May 10th.
