Popular culture and new media are deeply interwoven, yet they are
often thought of as separate spheres. This book explores the
material and everyday intersections between popular culture and new
media. Using a range of interdisciplinary resources the chapters
open up a series of hidden dimensions - including objects and
infrastructures, archives, algorithms, data play and the body -
that force us to rethink our understanding of culture as it is
today. Through an exploration of its intersections with new media,
this book reveals the centrality of data circulations in the
formation, organization and relations of popular culture. It shows
how digital data accumulate as a result of our routine engagements
with culture. It then examines the ways that these data fold-back
into culture through algorithmic process, through play and through
mediated bodily experiences. The book asks how we might
conceptualize and understand culture as it continues to be reshaped
by these recursive circulations of data.
