商品描述

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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

我們該如何看待我們的數位社交生活及其塑造力量?我們是否應該感到幸運,能夠體驗如此網絡化的連結?我們是否有特權能夠接觸到難以想像的資訊量?在數位全球經濟中工作是否更容易?還是我們的隱私和自由正受到數位監控的威脅?我們的安全和福祉是否正面臨風險?我們的政治是否因隱藏的演算法和錯誤資訊而受到破壞?由來自世界各地的傑出學者所撰寫的《Routledge Handbook of Digital Media and Communication》提供了一個全面、獨特且多學科的探索,針對這個快速增長且充滿活力的研究領域進行深入分析。《Handbook》採用三部分的結構框架來理解數位媒體的社會文化影響:人們用來溝通的物件或實體設備和系統;他們為了使用這些設備、表達自己和分享意義而參與的溝通實踐;以及圍繞這些實踐和物件發展的組織和制度安排、結構或形態。本書包含一系列關於廣泛主題的論文章節,凝聚了當前的知識,提供了歷史背景,並批判性地闡述了數位媒介關係中出現的網絡主導地位和正常化所帶來的挑戰和影響。探討的議題包括演算法的力量、數位貨幣、遊戲文化、監控、社交網絡和連結動員。這本Handbook不僅僅是一部參考書,它提供了一個全面、權威的新媒體學術狀態概述,以及將塑造和激發當前辯論的最重要未來方向。
