Abstract

Our aim in bringing together this collection of papers is to uncover ways in which “the digital” is at once encroaching, reformulating and creating social spaces. Indeed, at times the digital may even reconfigure what it means to be social. In order to capture the complex dimensions of this digital shift we have included a comprehensive range of disciplinary fields—politics, sociology, science, philosophy, informatics, public policy, communications and media studies.
