Information, technology, and connections (INTER)

In the section INTER, we critically consider the connections between information, technology, and humans and how such connections lead to new conceptualizations, understandings, and cultural practices.

Our approach addresses the practical implications of the continued digitization of everyday life, society, media, and culture. By examining the complex entanglements between information technologies and humans, we uncover not only the potential advantages but also the ethical dilemmas and societal challenges presented by these entanglements.

The research in the section explores the interrelations between information technologies and humans using perspectives deriving from information studies, social anthropology, communication studies, organization studies, game studies, philosophy, history, reading studies and more.

We use a variety of methodologies, from theoretical analysis to practice-based research, fieldwork and ethnographic studies.

The research topics includes a wide array of subjects, e.g. digital forms of organization, algorithmic structures, surveillance, privacy, information, and data.
