Digital Resilience Within a Hypermediated Polycrisis

5[1]

This article explores digital resilience within a hypermediated polycrisis, arguing that overlapping crises are increasingly experienced through deeply interconnected digital environments that shape how people understand and respond to disruption. It highlights digital resilience as a dynamic, socially embedded process involving digital literacy, social networks, and adaptive capacities across multiple levels, and notes that marginalized groups are disproportionately targeted by digital threats such as misinformation, surveillance, and harassment. The article concludes that fostering digital resilience requires more integrated, context-sensitive, and inclusive approaches in a world shaped by compounding and digitally mediated crises.
