[ecrea] Digital Existence: New book

Allow me to announce the publication of/Digital Existence: Ontology, 
Ethics and Transcendence in Digital Culture./Edited by Amanda 
Lagerkvist, Stockholm University and with a foreword by John Durham 
Peters, Yale University. (Series: Routledge Studies in Religion and 
Digital Culture edited by Heidi Campbell, Mia Lövheim and Gregory Price 
Grieve).

//

/Digital Existence: Ontology, Ethics and Transcendence in Digital 
Culture/advances debates on digital culture and digital religion in two 
complementary ways. First, by focalizing the themes ‘ontology,’ ‘ethics’ 
and ‘transcendence,’ it builds on insights from research on digital 
religion in order to reframe the field and pursue an existential media 
analysis that further pushes beyond the mandatory focus in mainstream 
media studies on the social, cultural, political and economic dimensions 
of digitalization. Second, the collection also implies a broadening of 
the scope of the debate in the field of media, religion and culture – 
and digital religion in particular – beyond ‘religion,’ to include the 
wider existential dimensions of digital media. It is the first volume on 
our digital existence in the budding field of existential media studies.
