Digital media has exploded over the past quarter century, and in
particular the past decade. As varieties of digital media multiply,
scholars are beginning to examine its origins, organization, and
preservation, which present new challenges compared to traditional
media. To examine issues from multiple perspectives, experts were
invited to an invitation-only workshop on digital media. The
participants were carefully chosen to represent a variety of
backgrounds and perspectives, ranging from humanities and fine arts
to communication theory. The papers collected here are the results
of that workshop. Digital Media: Technological and Social
Challenges of the Interactive World is organized in four parts,
each representing a different perspective on digital media:
preservation, humanities, organizational, and historical. The
section on preservation considers the problems of archiving digital
media for long-term preservation; the humanities section offers a
human-centered view of digital media, focusing on the interaction
between technological changes and cultural practices; the section
dealing with organization goes beyond the study of digital
artifacts in isolation to consider the context, collection, and
arrangement of objects; and the historical section examines how our
perspectives on digital media have changed over time, looking at
how issues such as the digital divide and digital production have
changed as technology has changed. The wealth of varied
perspectives in Digital Media provides new light on this topic,
beyond the media studies viewpoint that is the most common way of
engaging these topics. This collection will be a valuable addition
for students and faculty in information studies, communication
studies, rhetoric, new media, and more.
