Keywords: Digital culture; Infocommunication, Literacy; Places of memory In the period 2025-29, this IG will seek to focus on 3 fundamental axes, aggregating the activity of its various members, in conjunction with CITCEM’s strategic project:

1. Infocommunication in Context(s) – this axis includes research on: Cyberjournalism (and journalism in general); Communication, structures and effects, including public and political communication/information, governmental, scientific and open data; Digital culture (management practices/strategies and mediation issues in the cultural and creative sectors); Organization and representation of information, information and knowledge management.

2. Literacy(ies) – literacy is conceived as a center of knowledge, skills and connection to communities and, in this sense, encompasses the ability to interpret and use information correctly, which is essential in the life of communities and can enhance the different aspects that allow citizens to empower their citizenship. Literacy or different literacies are elements of community cohesion and the study and development of knowledge repositories are strategic lines of action in the fields of information, communication and digital inclusion. This axis includes research into: Health literacy, Governance literacy and Information behavior.

3. Places of memory and digital convergence – memory (individual and collective/social) is an unquestionable factor in the identity of communities and peoples. There is a natural relationship of interdependence between information and memory, because without a careful selection and proper preservation of information, it is not possible to guarantee its long-term durability, in other words, the maintenance and enhancement of the organic memory and identity of communities and peoples. This axis includes research into: information evaluation; archive and repository management; information preservation; public policies for long-term information management.
