Dear Internet researchers,
Hope you are doing well in these challenging times.
The *UNIBO-IIT Kanpur Digital Sociology International Research Group*
(https://site.unibo.it/cbdc/en)is
pleased to invite you to a virtual seminar on *Emerging Platform Societies*
from *September 14th to 16th, 2021*.
The seminar focuses on the contemporary socio-economic context, which is
highly dynamic and an expression of key digital and physical
transformations. Within this panorama, digital platforms play a dominant
role, imposing their power on economic and social processes. They also
influence personal and institutional communications, regulatory and
institutional structures, consumer behavior and, last but not the least,
have a strong impact on the payment system and the management of so-called
dual-entry markets. The current COVID-19 pandemic has also brought into
sharp relief both these rapidly unfolding transformations as well as
points of constraints.
The seminar includes talks by (*All events will start 11.00 am CET Time**)*:

the Art of Critical Internet Culture in Covid Times

in a series of virtual meetings to understand how society, economics, law,
politics and technological design shape and interact with the current
process.
