Abstract

ABSTRACT The current period of disruptive social change is inextricably bound up with new means and modes of communication, information, and media streams. The Communication, Information Technologies & Media Sociology section of the American Sociological Association (CITAMS) locates these factors at the center of our collective interests, investigating them through a plethora of methods, theories, and empirical cases. Each year, CITAMS runs a special issue in ICS showcasing select works presented at the previous year’s American Sociological Association conference and the affiliated Media Sociology preconference. Papers in the 2022 CITAMS Special Issue reflect a social context defined by a prolonged global pandemic and wrought by democratic uncertainty. Across these social circumstances, technology and media loom large. Simultaneously, everyday life continues and classic CITAMS scholarship sustains relevance for the ways people interact, construct identity, consume, and mobilize. All of this and more are contained in the pages of this year’s Special Issue, from which readers can get a sense of what CITAMS has to offer and consider how their own work may fit within the broad CITAMS umbrella.

（仍然）疫情世界中的信息技术与媒体社会学

摘要当前这一颠覆性的社会变革时期与新的传播方式、信息和媒体流密不可分。美国社会学协会（CITAMS）的传播、信息技术和媒体社会学部分将这些因素定位在我们集体利益的中心，通过大量的方法、理论和实证案例对其进行调查。每年，CITAMS都会在ICS上发行一期特刊，展示前一年美国社会学协会会议和附属媒体社会学预会议上发表的精选作品。2022年CITAMS特刊上的论文反映了一个由长期全球疫情和民主不确定性造成的社会背景。在这些社会环境中，技术和媒体显得尤为重要。与此同时，日常生活仍在继续，经典的CITAMS奖学金与人们互动、构建身份、消费和动员的方式保持着相关性。所有这些以及更多内容都包含在今年特刊的页面中，读者可以从中了解CITAMS所能提供的内容，并考虑他们自己的作品如何融入CITAMS的大范围。

期刊介绍： Drawing together the most current work upon the social, economic, and cultural impact of the emerging properties of the new information and communications technologies, this journal positions itself at the centre of contemporary debates about the information age. Information, Communication & Society (iCS) transcends cultural and geographical boundaries as it explores a diverse range of issues relating to the development and application of information and communications technologies (ICTs), asking such questions as: -What are the new and evolving forms of social software? What direction will these forms take? -ICTs facilitating globalization and how might this affect conceptions of local identity, ethnic differences, and regional sub-cultures? -Are ICTs leading to an age of electronic surveillance and social control? What are the implications for policing criminal activity, citizen privacy and public expression? -How are ICTs affecting daily life and social structures such as the family, work and organization, commerce and business, education, health care, and leisure activities? -To what extent do the virtual worlds constructed using ICTs impact on the construction of objects, spaces, and entities in the material world? iCS analyses such questions from a global, interdisciplinary perspective in contributions of the very highest quality from scholars and practitioners in the social sciences, gender and cultural studies, communication and media studies, as well as in the information and computer sciences.
