This book delves into the various methods of constructing
postdigital research, with a particular focus on the postdigital
dynamic of inclusion and exclusion, as well as the interplay
between method and emancipation. By answering three fundamental
questions - the relationship between postdigital theory and
research practice, the relationship between method and
emancipation, and how to construct emancipatory postdigital
research - the book serves as a comprehensive resource for those
interested in conducting postdigital research. Constructing
Postdigital Research: Method and Emancipation is complemented
by Postdigital Research: Genealogies, Challenges, and Future
Perspectives, also edited by Petar Jandrić, Alison MacKenzie, and
Jeremy Knox, which explores these questions in theory.
This book conceptualizes ecopedagogies as forms of educational
innovation and critique that emerge from, negotiate, debate,
produce, resist, and/or overcome the shifting and expansive
postdigital ecosystems of humans, machines, nonhuman animals,
objects, stuff, and other forms of matter. Contemporary postdigital
ecosystems are determined by a range of new bioinformational
reconfigurations in areas including capitalism, imperialism,
settler-colonialism, and ontological hierarchies more generally.
Postdigital ecopedagogies name a condition, a question, and a call
for experimentation to link pedagogical research and practice to
challenges of our moment. They pose living, breathing, expanding,
contracting, fluid, and spatial conditions and questions of our
non-chronological present. This book presents analyses of that
present from a wide spectrum of disciplines, including but not
limited to education studies, philosophy, politics, sociology,
arts, and architecture.
This book explores genealogies and the challenges related to the
concept of the postdigital, the ambiguous nature of postdigital
knowledges, and the many faces of postdigital sensibilities. The
book answers three key questions: What is postdigital knowledge?
What does it mean to do postdigital research? What, if
anything, is distinct from research conducted in other
perspectives? As such, this book is a one-stop publication
for those interested in the theory of postdigital research.
Postdigital Research: Genealogies, Challenges, and Future
Perspectives is complemented by Constructing
Postdigital Research: Method and Emancipation, also edited by Petar
Jandrić, Alison MacKenzie, and Jeremy Knox, which explores these
questions in practice.
The book presents a cross-disciplinary overview of critical issues
at the intersections of biology, information, and society. Based on
theories of bioinformationalism, viral modernity, the postdigital
condition, and others, this book explores two inter-related
questions: Which new knowledge ecologies are emerging? Which
philosophies and research approaches do they require? The book
argues that the 20th century focus on machinery needs to be
replaced, at least partially, by a focus on a better understanding
of living systems and their interactions with technology at all
scales – from viruses, through to human beings, to the Earth’s
ecosystem. This change of direction cannot be made by a simple
relocation of focus and/or funding from one discipline to another.
In our age of the Anthropocene, (human and planetary) biology
cannot be thought of without (digital) technology and society.
Today’s curious bioinformational mix of blurred and messy
relationships between physics and biology, old and new media,
humanism and posthumanism, knowledge capitalism and
bio-informational capitalism defines the postdigital condition and
creates new knowledge ecologies. The book presents scholarly
research defining new knowledge ecologies built upon emerging forms
of scientific communication, big data deluge, and opacity of
algorithmic operations. Many of these developments can be
approached using the concept of viral modernity, which applies to
viral technologies, codes and ecosystems in information,
publishing, education, and emerging knowledge (journal) systems. It
is within these overlapping theories and contexts, that this book
explores new bioinformational philosophies and postdigital
knowledge ecologies.
