ZusammenfassungIn contemporary digitalized media environments, the interaction between technologies and user practices
can lead to polarization, fragmentation, and radicalization of the media discourse. We argue that these
issues require efforts to strengthen ‘discursive resilience’, which we define as the capacity
of the discourse on digital platforms or (social) media and its participants to cope with polarization,
fragmentation, and radicalization, and to adapt and transform its capacities, procedures, and structures
in anticipation of these issues. In this contribution, we propose three strategies to counter such threats
and build discursive resilience: diagnosis of risks and vulnerabilities, user literacy in digital media
environments, and platform regulation and self-management.
