Abstract
ABSTRACT This Special Issue of Information, Communication and Society explores what can be understood as ‘digital landscapes’. The term draws our attention to the complex and overlapping contours of off- and on-line information flows, exchanges and meanings, and how these embody cultural, political and epistemic processes. The term also points to the ways in which social actors navigate the geographies of this landscape, and whether and how they have the resources to do so, indeed, whether they can create new geographies, and so new maps, in the process. This agency has therefore to be seen as highly contextual, a mix of both local and global dynamics. The papers brought together here examine the discursive, ethical, legal and infrastructural aspects of the digital landscape. In doing so, they open up for discussion on how we are best to understand, map, critique and importantly differentiate and contextualise the diverse forms of social engagement found within this landscape and its off-line instantiation.
