*******************************************
Postdigital Intimacies presents a unique and timely collection of 
research into the complex interplay and entanglement between digital and 
analogue relationships. Set within the normalisation of digital 
technology, cultures, AI and algorithms, the book explores social, 
political and cultural implications of intimacy in a blurry 
public–private. Chapters are informed by intersectional feminist, queer, 
anti-racist and postcolonial theories, and show how research can be part 
of creating affirmative, collective worlds that are more equitable and 
socially just. Through these lenses, contributors uncover vibrant 
digitally mediated lives and sociality. They investigate the vibey, 
emotional and affective sensibilities evolving online – excitement, 
boredom, mental health, survival – and reveal new activisms formed 
through digital belonging and a networked identity that responds to and 
resists marginality.

Consideration is given to the capacity for digital affordances to enable 
new forms of connection, community and solidarity as well as harm. 
Authors explore vulnerability and risk through image-based abuse and 
gendered and sexual violence. They also analyse the forms of digital 
surveillance, labour and platformed capitalism that shape intimate 
relations created in kinship and domesticity. By addressing these 
relationalities as postdigital intimacies, the chapters offer 
fascinating insights and timely analyses of the intimate relations that 
emerge from our current cultural and postdigital condition.
