About the
Conference
The rise of digital media has transformed almost all aspects of human life, including the societal and cultural dynamics across the globe. Especially since Web 2.0, digital media has evolved from a mere communication tool to an omnipresent force that affects all aspects of human life. According to Manuel Castells (2009) the emergence of Network Society or The Information Age, marks the transition from an industrial society to a network society, where networks of digital communication have become the organizing structures of human activity. This shift not only has major implications for how people connect and talk, but also reflects on the way we participate in culture, politics and economics. Hence, this conference seeks to examine the interrelationship between digital media, culture and societal transformation.
