Drawing upon Marxs theory of alienation and Antonio Gramscis concepts concerning common-sense, good sense, hegemony and praxis, the author examines the effectiveness of digital technologies in filling the social void created by the pandemic. A series of in-depth interviews across a spectrum of areas from community activism, mental health, trade union organisation, the creative arts, and resistance movements reveal how digital technologies flourished during the pandemic crisis, facilitating new ways to communicate. However, the interviews also throw into sharp relief the inadequacies of digital technologies. The book challenges conventional wisdom concerning the beneficial impact of digital machines on our lives. This book will have a broad appeal to anyone researching or teaching the societal, ethical and political implications of digital technologies, particularly from a qualitative perspective. It also has relevance for a wider readership concerned about the influence of social media. Dr Mike Healy, formerly a senior lecturer at the Westminster Business School, University of Westminster, is an independent researcher with 20 years of experience researching and teaching the ethical and societal implications of digital technologies. He has published widely on ethics and ICT, diversity and employment in the ICT sector, ICT and teaching, the development and problems of e-government in Europe and Africa, and the relationship between alienation and dignity in the IT sector. His previous book, Marx and Digital Machines explored the relation between alienation and digital technologies. 001446495 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 18, 2022). 001446495 647_7 $$aCOVID-19 Pandemic$$d(2020-)$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst02024716 001446495 650_0 $$aDigital media$$xSocial aspects. 001446495 650_0 $$aSocial structure$$xHistory$$y21st century. 001446495 650_0 $$aSocial movements$$xHistory$$y21st century. 001446495 650_0 $$aCOVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-$$xSocial aspects. 001446495 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001446495 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001446495 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHealy, Mike$$tOrganising During the Coronavirus Crisis$$dSingapore : Palgrave Macmillan US,c2022$$z9789811919411 001446495 852__ $$bebk 001446495 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-19-1942-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001446495 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1446495$$pGLOBAL_SET 001446495 980__ $$aBIB 001446495 980__ $$aEBOOK 001446495 982__ $$aEbook 001446495 983__ $$aOnline 001446495 994__ $$a92$$bISE
