Send manuscripts at [log in to unmask] Our reality is visibly and invisibly transformed through digital technology. Digitally mediated information flows structure increasingly deeper and broader layers of daily and professional lives. We live with and within the omnipresence of Wikipedia, Google Maps and Facebook – to name just the tip of the iceberg. Computational power is mobile, but increasingly fixed on our persons, from bags and pockets, to wrists and, occasionally, glasses. Information technology has gradually become an infrastructure, an ambient and a part of our extended, distributed selves. We invite authors to reflect on the significance of digital technologies for our daily and professional lives, addressing questions such as the following – or any other related topics: · How are our *experiences of time and place* modified through digital technology? What about our experiences of friendship and relatedness, familiarity and awareness, membership and individuality? · How are *social sciences* shaped by widespread use of technology in generating traces of human behavior, collecting and analyzing big and small data? · How is *authorship* redefined in an era of human-technological collaboration – in diverse fields such as arts, sciences, blogging, wiki contributing, coding? · How is *cognition and knowledge* shaped in the interplay of humans and computers, and in the distributed networks of digitally mediated collaborative networks? · How does digital technology modify *our relationships with different forms of information* – such as medical advice, navigation tips, scientific publication, or knowledge of other persons? · What of our lives becomes more *transparent* and what becomes more *opaque*, in the interplay of surveillance and pursuits of privacy? · What are the *shifting boundaries of the ‘real world’* as the counterpart of the digital worlds we visit – from gameworlds and virtual realities to augmented landscapes and continuous flows of digital snippets? · What are the *ethical experiences and issues* raised by our increased entanglements with digital technology? · How is digital technology *socially stratified*? Which are the digital gaps that constitute and reconstitute social stratification and mobility? What are the distinctive patterns of use and ignorance of technology for certain categories of people, such as children, young men, or older women? ************************************************************* * Anthropology-Matters Mailing List * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * * online discussions, teaching and research resources * * and international contacts directory. * * To join this list or to look at the archived previous * * messages visit: * * http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/Anthropology-Matters.HTML * * If you have ALREADY subscribed: to send a message to all * * those currently subscribed to the list,just send mail to: * * [log in to unmask] * * * * Enjoyed the mailing list?
