New Media And Popular Culture
Popular culture and new media are deeply interwoven, yet they are often thought of as separate spheres. Using a range of interdisciplinary resources the chapters open up a series of hidden dimensions- including objects and infrastructres, archives,algorithms, data play and the body- that force us to rethink our understanding of culture as it is today through an exploration of its intersections with new media, data circulations in the formation, organisations and relations of popular culture. It shows how digital data accumulate as a result of our routine engagements with culture. It then examines the ways that these data fold- back into culture through algorithmic process, through play and through mediated bodily experiences. we might conceptualize and understand culture as it continues to be reshaped by these recursive circulations of data.
