Description:
Politics in the contemporary globalized world is inconceivable without media
which shape and frame communicative practices, the process being commonly
referred to as mediatization. Digital media abundance poses new challenges
which are theorized in various interdisciplinary strands of research which
attempt to understand recent political changes through analyzing effects of
targeting, algorithmization, information bubbles, etc. Whereas optimists
welcome new media opportunities for political thought and practice, skeptical
voices raise issues of political manipulation and discuss possible
consequences of ethical and epistemological relativism flourishing within the
digital environment. There is a lack of common theoretical ground uniting
socio-political, technological, and discursive perspectives. For this reason,
a space for discussing and exploring the methodological crossroads of these
disciplinary domains is needed. DNS5 Summer School is aimed to become such a
space.
