Las TIC y la creación de una ciudadanía crítica e-digital

Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical review and reflection about the change in the concept of citizenship and its exercise in the digital society. The influence of ICT on the empowerment and participation of citizens has been analyzed. They have allowed the creation of digital social democracy, understood as the possibility of promoting collective participation in decision-making. The exercise of critical digital citizenship requires training, not only in technological aspects but also an adequate cultural and political formation that allows mature participation in the new media sociological framework. The work concludes with the proposal of a series of measures to favor this critical e-citizenship: the development of an adequate digital competence and training for the citizenship, establishing a plan of action in formal and non-formal education.
