{"product_id":"social-digitalisation-kornelia-hahn-9783030798666","title":"Social Digitalisation: Persistent Transformations Beyond Digital Technology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book shows how many previously contingent social processes have gradually been re-organised and transformed into entangled processes of 'discontinuance' and 'continuance' through the implementation of digital logic. Together with the necessary co-evolution of our collective digital literacy, this persistent process of transformation throughout modernity is theorised here as one of 'social digitalisation.' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSocial digitalisation highlights the ways in which material digital technology, like preceding material technologies, has been fitted into\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ethe longer term trajectory of digital transformation. This new social theory thus reverses\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eprevailing accounts of the 'digital revolution' that focus exclusively on changes allegedly caused by material digital technology in recent decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also demonstrates the fruitfulness of applying the theory of social digitalisation as a holistic approach in researching the wide-ranging consequences of contemporary digitalisation, including its contrasting effects on different social groups. It will be useful to students and researchers of sociology, communications, media and history, but also for general readers interested in understanding the overall complexity of digitalisation and how digital transformation has come to dominate the ways we live today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kornelia Hahn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030798666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030798666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.88d","brand":"Kornelia Hahn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089069289727,"sku":"9783030798666","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aebb6bd7-1f87-4c6c-bb9c-6d544220d95a.jpg?v=1769108025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-digitalisation-kornelia-hahn-9783030798666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
