DigitalCitizenship and its Limits: Annual Winter School in Digital Politics

This Winter School makes a series of critical interventionsinto the field of digital citizenship, in both so-called democratic andso-called authoritarian states. The School will focus particularly on how theinteractions between individuals or communities and the state, in areas such aspublic services, welfare, border control, and policing, are mediated by digitalplatforms, on-line communication, algorithms and the AI. Participants willexplore the following questions: What are the injustices involved in being asubject of a digital state? What is the human cost of e-governance, digitalborder control, high tech policing, or on-line surveillance? What are theresults of digital non-freedoms - distress, despair, loss of income, poverty,starvation, imprisonment, death? Who are the captive subjects and dependantvictims of state digitisation? And finally, what are the possibilities torethink, challenge, survive and resist the violence of digital citizenship?
The School is organised by the Digital Politics researchcluster at the department of History, Politics and Philosophy, and is generouslysupported by the Digital Society Research Group (DISC at ManMet) at the Faculty ofArts and Humanities, Manchester Metropolitan University, as part of the Digital Society @ Manchester 2022events.
