The Centre for Postdigital Cultures (CPC) brings together media
theorists, practitioners, activists and artists to explore how
developments in postdigital cultures can enable 21st century society
respond to the challenges it faces in relation to the digital at a
global, national and local level.
The CPC is diverse, with its members hailing from more than 14 different
countries, and takes an innovative stance in exploring (post)digital
phenomena. It is our position that the “digital” can no longer be
understood as a separate domain of culture. If we actually examine the
digital - rather than taking it for granted we already know what it
means - we see that today digital information processing is present in
every aspect of our lives. This includes our global communication,
entertainment, education, energy, banking, health, transport,
manufacturing, food, and water-supply systems. Attention therefore needs
to turn from “the digital”, to the various overlapping processes and
infrastructures that shape and organise the digital, and that the
digital helps to shape and organise in turn. The CPC investigates such
enmeshed digital models of culture and society for the 21st century
“postdigital” world. (Put another way, what we are interested in is how
we are born out of our relation to media, rather than seeing the media
simply as an external instrument or tool, the latter being the classical
Aristotelian view that has dominated our understanding of media
technologies to date. )
Developing our research is a strategic priority for our centre;
significant investment has been made into facilities, research staff and
research support services. To support planned future growth the
university is expanding its portfolio of research and our centre has the
above posts; select the relevant link to find out more and apply.
