“…More Latinized two Greek compounds – ou (not) and topos (place), and eu (good) and topos (place) – to refer ambiguously to a place that is both a non-place and a good place. By contrast, dystopia , understood as a fictitious abhorrent socio-political world, is believed to derive either from the Greek prefix dys standing for bad, dysfunctional, or from ‘Dis’, the Greek mythological underworld of the dead (Ransom, 2009: 118, 123).…”

This article proposes a theoretical framework for how critical digital literacy, conceptualized as incorporating Internet users’ utopian/dystopian imaginaries of society in the digital age, facilitates civic engagement. To do so, after reviewing media literacy research, it draws on utopian studies and political theory to frame utopian thinking as relying dialectically on utopianism and dystopianism. Conceptualizing critical digital literacy as incorporating utopianism/dystopianism prescribes that constructing and deploying an understanding of the Internet’s civic potentials and limitations is crucial to pursuing civic opportunities. The framework proposed, which has implications for media literacy research and practice, allows us to (1) disentangle users’ imaginaries of civic life from their imaginaries of the Internet, (2) resist the collapse of critical digital literacy into civic engagement that is understood as inherently progressive, and (3) problematize polarizing conclusions about users’ interpretations of the Internet as either crucial or detrimental to their online engagement.
