*Social Sustainability of Digital Life*

*Call for Papers*

**

The outbreak of the Coronavirus in 2020 has given a new impetus to digital transformation. In a period of health crisis, digital solutions, previously seen as an option in many areas of life, have become exclusive, while significant segments of societies are shocked by the “new world” that is so alien to them (Beaunoyer, Dupéré, Guitton 2020; Robinson et al. 2020; Nguyen et al. 2020).

In the post-Coronavirus era, the sustainability of digital life has become a timely issue, as social sustainability and digital transformation have turn out to be the keywords of the ongoing reconstruction process (EESC 2020).

The issue of social sustainability has gained prominence in the last few years, especially as we are already experiencing many of the negative consequences of human behavior. Social sustainability refers to an approach that prioritizes the maintenance or improvement of people’s well-being. The focus is on improving social cohesion and integrity, social stability and quality of life. Social sustainability therefore requires the reduction of social inequalities, equitable distribution of resources, harmonious social relations and an acceptable quality of life (UN 2015; Fleischer 2014).

In this conference, we will explore the application of the social sustainability approach to digital life. The digital life that emerges from the socio-economic-cultural reality also reflects the imprints, patterns, challenges and traps that have been created by the real events of recent times. Hence, the sustainability of digital life is linked to the sustainability of real social life. Sustainability also implies the ability to shape the future in a flexible way, which is why it is an important research task to map digital futures, to critically interpret the emerging “new worlds” and to formulate scientifically demanding scenarios for sustainable digital life.

For its 2022 issue, the journal /Acta Universitatis Sapientiae, Communicatio /expects original research articles applying the social sustainability approach on the digital life.
