Synthèse

Digital visibility—making oneself or others visible through digital technologies—has become central to modern organizing, yet remains theoretically fragmented. Algorithmic systems and digital infrastructures increasingly determine how individuals and collectives become visible, valued, or excluded, fundamentally reshaping coordination, communication, and collaboration. The special issue addresses how visibility has shifted from a secondary organizational feature to a primary mechanism through which strategy, power, identity, and modes of organizing are constructed.
