"Digital culture" reflects the ways in which the ubiquity and
increasing use of digital devices and infrastructures is changing
the arenas of human experience, creating new cultural realities.
Whereas much of the existing literature on digital culture
addresses the topic through a sociological, anthropological, or
media theoretic lens, this book focuses on its geographic aspects.
The first section, "infrastructures and networked practices"
highlights the integration of digital technologies into everyday
practices in very different historical and geographical
contexts-ranging from local lifeworlds, urban environments, web
cartographies up to global geopolitics. The second section on
"subjectivities and identities" shows how digital technology use
possesses the capacity to alter the subjective, perceptive, and
affective engagement with the spatial world. Finally, "politics and
inequalities" investigates the social and spatial disparities
concerning digital technology and its use. This book draws
attention to the deep interconnectedness of the cultural, digital,
and spatial aspects of everyday practices by referring to a broad
range of empirical examples taken from tourism, banking, mobility,
and health. Scholars in human geography, anthropology, media and
communication studies, and history will find this research
indispensable reading. It addresses both young and seasoned
researchers as well as advanced students in the aforementioned
disciplines. The wealth of examples also makes this publication
helpful in academic teaching.
