A seemingly frictionless user experience, however, conceals the contradictions, power asymmetries, and polarisations that shape our digital cultures. This issue of \u003ci\u003eDigital Culture \u0026amp; Society\u003c\/i\u003e takes the notion of \u003ci\u003efrictions\u003c\/i\u003e as a starting point for a situated analysis of our digital present. Frictions are sites where criticism is sparked, value conflicts are negotiated, and design alternatives are explored. By bringing together research from media studies, science and technology studies (STS), and sociology, this issue begins to synthesise and systematise the structural inconsistencies that frictions expose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Burkhardt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3837663582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837663587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.49d","brand":"Marcus Burkhardt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742755827967,"sku":"9783837663587","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ffe20ea-2b53-43f3-a70f-9a9abcccd382.jpg?v=1782447611","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/digital-culture-society-dcs-marcus-burkhardt-9783837663587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
