Digital information and communication

The members of the section Digital information and communication work with theoretical and practical implications of the continued digitalization of everyday life, society, media and culture. We focus on a number of different questions in the area between IT and humanistic and socio-scientific perspectives on information and communication - empirically, theoretically, philosophically and historically.

We see digitalization as an ongoing process and as a practice that we all live and interact with, and are influenced by in all parts of our everyday lives. Our research centers on digital infrastructures and forms of organization; meetings between work practices and digital technologies; digital methods; and the political, ethical and conceptual challenges from ‘datafication’ and surveillance that we individually and as society have to address.
