Digital communication
Abstract
This paper elaborates a definition of digital communication as an operative unit via reviewing technical and sociological conditions triggered by the emergence of digital media. Examining and comparing general and particular aspects of the communicative synthesis with the broad model of communication proposed by Niklas Luhmann, an operational definition of digital communication is proposed, and ultimately tested through an initial analysis of the rearrangement of the participation conditions in communication. To achieve the latter, an exploration of the methodological link between the analysis of the participation conditions and the inclusion/exclusion distinction is conducted, which is, in turn, adjusted for the research of communication technologies and propagation media.Keywords:
