Digital Sociology, Selwyn 2019 (luku: So why “digital sociology” … right here, right now?):

Technological Conditions Then and Now

  • Digital sociology helps understand distinct technological conditions compared to previous generations of sociologists.
  • Current digital technologies are quantitatively and qualitatively different from past ones.

Addressing Blind Spots

  • Digital sociology fills gaps in previous technological sociological research.
  • Emphasizes issues of identity politics, including race, sexuality, disability, and intersections.
  • Urges a deeper understanding of the computational basis of digital technology, focusing on coded architectures and programmed nature.

Intimacy and Personal Nature

  • Explores contemporary technology use's intimate, personal, and affective aspects.
  • Examines how personal aspects are increasingly drawn into digital devices and systems.
  • Scholarship is needed to explore emotions and intensity of experience in online interactions (”there is a need for scholarship that explores the issue of how we feel through technology and the intensity of experience as we encounter others online”)
  • Digital sociology can be more introspective and intimate than previous accounts of technology.

Engaging with Digital Technology

  • Digital sociology engages with technology on its own terms.
  • It is not just the study of the digital but an integral way of doing sociology.
  • Practice involves using digital resources, technologies, and data analysis.
  • Performed through media accessible via digital means, connecting with sociological audiences and publics.
