From Adolescence to Adulthood: Uncovering Youth-driven Digital Practices in a fluid and adaptive world

Abstract

We live in a moment of profound digital transformation. The platforms, algorithms and networked infrastructures that shape everyday life are not neutral technologies – they are social, political and cultural environments that young people inhabit, navigate and reshape in ways that are only beginning to be understood. This Feature Topic of Media International Australia takes on that challenge, bringing together scholarship from an interdisciplinary lens that examines the digital practices of young people across diverse global contexts, with a particular attention to how youth – from adolescence into early adulthood – appropriate, resist and are shaped by the digital worlds they currently occupy.
