What are we to make of our digital social lives and the forces that
shape it? Should we feel fortunate to experience such networked
connectivity? Are we privileged to have access to unimaginable
amounts of information? Is it easier to work in a digital global
economy? Or is our privacy and freedom under threat from digital
surveillance? Our security and welfare being put at risk? Our
politics undermined by hidden algorithms and misinformation?
Written by a distinguished group of leading scholars from around
the world, the Routledge Handbook of Digital Media and
Communication provides a comprehensive, unique, and
multidisciplinary exploration of this rapidly growing and vibrant
field of study. The Handbook adopts a three-part structural
framework for understanding the sociocultural impact of digital
media: the artifacts or physical devices and systems that people
use to communicate; the communicative practices in which they
engage to use those devices, express themselves, and share meaning;
and the organizational and institutional arrangements, structures,
or formations that develop around those practices and artifacts.
Comprising a series of essay-chapters on a wide range of topics,
this volume crystallizes current knowledge, provides historical
context, and critically articulates the challenges and implications
of the emerging dominance of the network and normalization of
digitally mediated relations. Issues explored include the power of
algorithms, digital currency, gaming culture, surveillance, social
networking, and connective mobilization. More than a reference
work, this Handbook delivers a comprehensive, authoritative
overview of the state of new media scholarship and its most
important future directions that will shape and animate current
debates.
