“Interdigital” Theories: internet studies and beyond  - FRI 19 Oct 12


While in the last ten years empirical research has started differentiating, theoretical approaches for the ‘internet studies’ still need to take off, both in North America, in Europe and in other countries. The main idea is to stimulate a debate about the need to evolve from traditional ‘mass media’ or ‘Computer mediated communication’ theories  - still used by many – and  move forward. The idea is to reflect upon the need of building solid theory for current and future challenging scenarios (eg computers as we know them will ‘disappear’ soon). The  session could be an ideal setting  to think about ‘new’ theory with an “interdigital” perspective, on the light of the future of internet studies.
