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.
