In this episode of the ReDICo Podcast, Fergal Lenehan and Yolanda López García explore key concepts of digital intercultural communication. At the heart of the discussion is postdigitality, which highlights the merging of the analog and digital worlds. Platforms play a crucial role in this postdigital era and are transforming our everyday reality. A major focus of the discussion is how algorithms can shape our freedom. The episode emphasizes the importance of questioning their influence critically and engaging with them consciously. We also delve into postdigital cosmopolitanism, which promotes openness to the world and solidarity across national borders. The concept of "agency" – individual power to act – is re-examined in the context of digital intercultural communication. Finally, the episode offers a preview of the next topic, where identity and culture will take centre stage.
