This edited volume examines cultural criticism in the digital age. It 
provides new insights into how critical authority and expertise in a 
cultural context are being reconfigured /in/ digital media and /by means 
of/ digital media, as the boundaries of cultural criticism and who may 
perform as a cultural critic are redefined or even dissolved. The book 
applies cross-media and cross-disciplinary perspectives to advance 
cultural criticism as a wide-ranging and multi-facetted object of study 
in the 21st century. Presenting a broad collection of case studies, 
including global cases such as the Golden Globe, the Intellectual Dark 
Web, YouTube, Rotten Tomatoes and Artsy and particular national contexts 
such as Britain, the Czech Republic, Denmark and the Netherlands, the 
book showcases the many theoretical and methodological approaches that 
may serve as useful frameworks for studying new critical voices in the 
digital age. It will be of interest to media, communication and 
journalism scholars as well as scholars from a range of aesthetic 
disciplines.
