The idea of citizenship is widely used in daily life. 'Citizenship tests' are used to determine who can inhabit a country; 'citizen charters' have been used to prescribe levels of service provision; 'citizens' juries' are used in planning or policy enquiries; 'citizenship' lessons are taught in schools; youth organisations attempt often aim to instil 'good' citizenship; 'active citizens' are encouraged to contribute voluntary effort to their local communities and campaigners may use 'citizens' rights' to achieve their goals.

When digital technologies become a part of everyday life in most parts of society, it changes the way we work, organize, communicate, and make relations. It also changes the relationship between the state and its citizens - a relationship usually conceptualized as citizenship. To capture this transformation, a new concept of digital citizenship has emerged. The overall purpose of this paper is to overcome the fragmentation of knowledge about how citizenship is transformed into digital citizenship through a systematic review of the academic literature on the concept of digital citizenship. The literature review identifies four streams of literature in the academic landscape of digital citizenship, and by a content analysis, it outlines the many dimensions and facets of digital citizenship. In this way, the literature review offers a comprehensive picture of both the impacts of the digital transformation on citizenship and the concept within the academic debate.

"Although we live in a period of unprecedented globalization and migration, citizenship matters more than ever. Here, Elizabeth F. Cohen and Cyril Ghosh examine multiple facets of the concept, including classic and contemporary theories, historical development, and lived experience. This book is essential reading for students and scholars alike"--

The emergence of an expanded notion of citizenship -- cultural citizenship -- is examined. The development of citizenship rights is cumulative & uneven. While extension of social/welfare rights has recently been stymied, new cultural citizenship rights, including the rights to symbolic presence, dignifying representation, propagation of identity, & maintenance of lifestyles, have emerged. Global trends responsible for the emergence of interest in cultural citizenship in the contemporary era are highlighted: (1) weakening of the state; (2) the welfare system crisis; (3) the waning of classes; (4) proliferation of communication media; & (5) formation of new social & cultural movements. The application of these trends to the emergence of cultural rights & their claimants in Australia is discussed. Adapted from the source document.
