From the Traditional Village to Virtual Togetherness: Rethinking Community in the Digital Age

General public Lecture Public lecture

What does 'community' mean in societies that are increasingly based on digital interactions? This talk explores how social cohesion and a sense of belonging have changed in the digital age, contrasting traditional forms of community with new digital forms of belonging and togetherness. Drawing on theoretical insights and empirical examples, it examines how digital tools foster and challenge communal life. Are we witnessing the erosion of genuine community, or its reinvention through new digital architectures? The talk invites critical reflection on the potential and limitations of digital belonging.
