Digitalization is a long and constant sociohistoric process in which all areas of society�s activities are reconfigured. Digitalization of Society and Socio-political Issues 1 examines the transformations linked to the development of digital platforms and social media, which affect the cultural and communicational industries. It analyzes the formation of Big Data, their algorithmic processing and the societal changes which result (social monitoring and control in particular). Through critical views, it equally presents the various ways in which technology participates in relations of power and domination, and contributes to possible emancipatory practices.
Éric George is Full Professor at the School of Media Studies (Faculty of Communication) at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), Canada, and Director of the Center for Interuniversity Research on Communication, Information and Society (CRICIS), Canada.
