The book focuses on civic and political transformations in Ukraine and Russia during the start of the 21st century, marked by the increasing use of internet and communication technology in a reality that is at once physical and digital. How do citizens in both countries navigate these shifts in their use of digital media and technology? From posting about everyday occurrences and commenting on news to expressing their political position, witnessing crises, and engaging in protest activity? Drawing on work in media studies, cultural studies, technology studies, and protest movement literature, the book provides an overview of existing theoretical discussions and field research on the role of digital technology, the internet, and social media in social transformations, civic culture, and protests.
