Digital Culture and Society

This book provides a critical introduction to the ways in which digital technologies have enabled new types of interactions, experiences and collaborations across a range of platforms and media, profoundly shaping our socio-cultural landscapes. These discussions are grounded in classical sociological concepts; community, the self, gender, consumption, power and exclusion and inequality, to demonstrate the continuities that exist between sociological studies of ‘real’ world phenomena and their digital counterparts.  Examining the various debates around methods in digital sociology in recent years, this book provides an accessible and engaging guide to using methodologies to study digital technology.

From the moment we wake up until we go to bed, many of us constantly use digital technologies.  Our mobile phones have become our maps, banks, newspapers and entertainment consoles.  What′s more, they allow us to be constantly connected with the people in our lives.  This book will equip you to analyse digital media in your own work.  The book offers a broad guide to the various areas of our lives that are impacted by digital technology, from the virtual communities that we form on social media to the impact that digital technology has on our identity through a ′sociology of selfies′.  With chapters on leisure, work, privacy and methods, this is an essential introduction for students in the areas of sociology, digital media, and cultural studies.  Learning features include:

- Annotated further reading in every chapter 
- Case studies that illustrate theory
- Learning objectives and questions throughout
- Historical and theoretical context in every chapter
