Digital Culture - Research Lab

The Digital Research Lab (DCRL) aims to further develop, systematize and internationalize the research area of digital media, already a distinctive feature of Leuphna University as well as to expand the Centre for Digital Cultures (CDC) into a disciplinary, systematic & internationally renowned centre of research. Consequently the work of The Research Lab is strongly associated with the Institute for Culture & Aesthetics of Digital Media (which is the wide-ranging media research & development within the Innovation Incubator, co-funded by EFRE & Federal State of Lower Saxony) & the German Research Concil, funded Institute of Advance Studies on “Media Cultures of Computer Simulation”.

Objectives:

The main and important objective of the course is to develop the acquisition of theoretical competences on the topic of digital culture. In these days our society is more than ever dip in a flow of technological improvements that shape our interactions & mediate our access to things & to the other individuals. In this topic we will discuss on the whole that why & how the future will be digital & fragmented. The objectives are is to know and understand the nature of the changes underpinning of social & technological changes, with a special emphasis on the consequences of those for the individual & society. Additional goals include the acquisition of theoretical & empirical information on the topic of digital culture & its implications for the study of media & computing. The Digital Cultures Research lab follows a disciplinary research approach, seeking to combine the research efforts & methods of different research traditions & approaches stemming from cultural & social theory, media studies & computer science as well as non-academic sources in order to tackle the pressing contemporary phenomena & consequences of living in digital cultures.

Learning Outcomes:

To know the job of digital culture in present society; to share digital culture with media culture; to know the basis of activity theory; to know the responsibility & environment of social capital theory. Additional outcomes include the acquisition of competences on the analysis & interpretation of key texts on the history & development of media theory & digital culture issues.

Digital Culture - Introduction

Digital Cultures is an innovative interdisciplinary program within the department of media & communications. In current period digital culture is a set of communication technologies. In 19th century they called as print culture & in 20th century it is the electronic broadcast culture, & that is deeply improved & faster by the popularity of networked computers, modified technologies & digital images. The term “Di­gi­tal Cul­tu­res” de­no­tes a fun­da­men­tal & epo­chal chan­ge in ever­y­day life, one that pla­ces new de­man­ds on the ge­ne­ra­ti­on of theo­re­ti­cal & prac­tical know­ledge.

Digital culture significantly investigates the internet, new media & digital technologies & the roles they play in contemporary society, media, culture, business, politics, the arts & everyday life. The emergence of digital culture is typically linked with a set of practices based on the exhaustive use of communication technologies.

These uses imply more participatory behaviors on the user side, seeing wealthy environment & connection features that having excellent personal dimensions. The digital cultures program places intelligent, interactive, mobile & networked technologies in context, diagram on media studies, cultural studies, new media studies, science & technology studies, sociology, media arts & philosophy is to understand the many changes connected with digital media. Digital culture positions first of all for the changes brought about by the emergence of digital, networked & personalized-media in our society & passing from the communication phases centered on print & broadcast-media, to more personalized & networked media, that use digital compressing & processing capacities. The effects of like processes in societal terms & the means which media technologies transform our modes of interaction & representation generally compose what is called “digital-culture”.

In a digital age transformations related with digitization, digital media and related technological developments have massive implications for how knowledge and culture are produced, circulated, and consumed. An observable example is how various forms of very short to long-form digital publication facilitated by access to user-friendly platforms have increased opportunities for scholars to connect with each other and with varied publics. These developments have been accompanied by animated, sometimes debatable, considerations regarding diverse forms and differential standards of knowledge generation, editorial practice, and curation. Comparable revolution and discussions are in progress in the circle of communications, journalism, publishing, and libraries, and within an array of arenas that generate culture and knowledge. Through a set of new and emerging projects, the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) seeks to grapple with these and related changes. The Digital Culture consists of 4 fields of research on the technological conditions, sociality, the political & methods. Such researches are associated with 12 specific research units. It will bring together acclaimed international fellows, talented junior researchers & Leuphana based academics. At the undergraduate level, the digital cultures program offers a major in digital cultures & an honours program that allows students to start a research project & become a professional in a new development in digital media. The School of Arts Media & Engineering & fifteen other partners units have designed a new undergraduate curriculum in digital culture to educate 21st century students. The curriculum incorporates both creative & technical components & encourages students to learn how to integrate both. At the postgraduate level there were many courses work programs in digital communication & culture as well as higher research degrees from MA (Research) to PhD.
