This editorial introduces a themed section aimed to spark further reflections on
the limits and boundaries of disconnection as a form of critique, activism and
response to the pervasiveness of digital devices, platforms, and infrastructures.
We outline two key limits in current thinking about disconnection: first, the
universalist discourse of disconnection, which contrasts with the reality of a
profound inequality of access to both connection and disconnection across the
globe, and second, the fact that connectivity not only involves digital media
users but also those who are materially not connected to the network. This
introduction also reflects on the changing meanings of being connected and
disconnected to digital networks and platforms at a time when the Covid-19
pandemic forces many people around the world to remain physically separated from
others due to lockdown and quarantine measures.
