Abstract
Tactical deployments of a variety of digital community media for fostering social change and participation in the Malaysian context have been extensively explored and continue to be explored. These include peripheral discursive influences during and beyond election periods, community-building and disaster relief amidst nationwide epidemiological and flooding disasters, and creative political socialization amongst the (eastern and peninsular) Malaysian youth forbidden from political participation by the legal state apparatus. By bringing into this scholarship a geographical perspective, this report notes down preliminary insights from the pilot phase of a study on how and why the study of community (social, digital) media in a historically habitually diverse Malaysia (and South East Asia) could and should be geographically and developmentally (de)limited.
