Digital Cultures
Digital technology enables new modes of intellectual pursuit, creative expression, and cultural production. Sitting at the intersection of the study of digital technology and culture, this theme advances interdisciplinary research involving the use of digital and computational methods and theoretically informed research across the humanities and social sciences. Digital Cultures brings together academics interested in the critique and creative use of digital technology with a particular focus on its cultural and societal implications. Our aim is to better understand how digital technology is reshaping our cultural landscapes, past, present and future.
