About the Book

Introductory and user-friendly textbook for scholars and students in the humanities Multidisciplinary approach to digital culture Cross-fertilization of three major perspectives: history of ideas, art, identity and memory studies Includes a wide selection of examples and case studies with many suggestions for advanced study and reading The digital revolution has changed our ways of thinking, working, writing, and living together. In this book the authors critically analyse the ways in which these new technologies have reshaped our world in numerous respects, ranging from politics, ideology, and philosophy over art and communication to memory and identity. The book challenges the customary view of a divide between analog and digital culture, claiming instead that human endeavour has always been characterized by certain forms and aspects of digital thinking, building, and communicating, and that essential parts of analog culture are still being reshaped by new digital technologies. It offers a multidisciplinary approach to digital reason, reflecting the diversity of humanities scholarship and its fundamental contribution to the ongoing changes in our current and future thinking and doing.
