Abstract
- Digital technology originates from science, but its application has brought about transformations and revolutions to myriads of humanities disciplines in terms of research, practice and teaching. For example, the rise of digital media is constantly changing our perception of the world in the aspects of politics, economies, social lives and culture. Meanwhile, traditional cultural texts, forms and scholarly works are transformed whilst new cultural practices are created. The emergence of virtual/augmented reality has also generated new cultural forms and interactions, which in turn intervene and reshape the non-virtual reality in communities. Needless to say, one of the most significant instances of new cultural practices is the development of social movements and activism. The technology of new media and social network has played a core role in social activism. Studying digital culture and humanities is an adventure into the future of the interrelations between technology, culture and society. By putting digital technology under scrutiny, this special issue of Digital Culture and Humanities examines social impacts in the emergence of digital culture, especially how changes in the form of cultural production affect language expressions and communication. It seeks to provide a wide array of new thoughts on various facets of digital culture in the globalizing world.
