[Commlist] Media, Culture & Society themed issue: "Reclaiming the Human in Machine Cultures" published

A new themed issue of /Media, Culture & Society/, entitled "Reclaiming 
the Human in Machine Cultures" and edited by Andrea Guzman and Simone 
Natale, has now been published.
https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/mcs/44/4 
<https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/mcs/44/4>

The goal of this themed issue is to draw from the tradition of cultural 
studies and cultural theory to move toward a conceptualization of 
culture in which machines are intertwined within human systems of 
meaning-making. Problematizing notions such as “algorithmic culture” and 
“machine culture,” contributors provide theoretical reflections and 
empirical evidence that help reaffirm the centrality of the human in 
this context.
