Abstract<\/h2>\n
The article focuses on mobile democracy<\/span> in connection to the conditional foundations for young Danes\u2019 democratic agency in a digital society. It investigates questions of democratic transformation through a conceptual and empirical triangulation of mobile democracy as a framework for analyzing these conditions. Conceptually, the article draws on research on youth and mobile technologies<\/span> and on theories of mobility<\/span>, deliberative democracy<\/span>, and democratic conversation<\/span>. Empirically, the article draws on 16 in-depth interviews with 16\u201324-year-old Danes conducted in 2021. This dataset is supported by findings from a representative survey (2017) and publicly available statistics and surveys. The article analyses three intersecting conditions that frame the concept of mobile democracy through an analysis of young citizens\u2019 democratic participation: 1. Mobile technologies\u2014democratic mobility occurs across the availability of technological mobile platforms and online services. The \u2018always on\u2019 status is defining for young citizens\u2019 democratic agency. 2. Mobile information and social media\u2014fragmented publics are increasingly missing societal reference points and ideological coherence, and young people are challenged in their attempt to establish coherent meaningfulness from the fluctuating information stream. 3. Mobile engagement and participation\u2014information mobility affects perceptions of what information, citizenship and democracy are, and how this translates into actualizations of democratic participation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
