[Commlist] Digital Delights & Disturbances (DDD) Online Lecture Series Spring 2021

The Department of Communications and Media Studies at John Cabot 
University in Rome is pleased to announce the Spring 2021 'Digital 
Delights & Disturbances' (DDD) Lecture Series-  Pandemic Edition.

/Big data, artificial intelligences, algorithmic prediction: is this the 
solution to the problems affecting our unstable societies, or just the 
beginning of more sophisticated forms of social control, discipline, and 
compliance to the powers that be? Is there any way out from the digital 
neoliberal realism which we live in? Are there any possible ways to 
imagine data that are not extractive and abusive, A.I.s that are 
relational and not intrusive, a domain of the digital that is not just 
‘social as in social media’? /

/Digital Delights & Disturbances offers radical ways to think 
out-of-the-(digital)-box we live in, imaginative and informed food for 
thought to feed our souls lost in the digital mayhem./
