Making Digital Cultures: Access, Interactivity, and Authenticity

摘要

Martin Hand, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Queen's University in Canada, tackles a continuing problem familiar to readers of this journal, namely the relationship among people, organizations, and new technologies. In Making Digital Cultures, published in 2008, Hand's interest in what he calls the 'rather uneasy alliances between analogue and digital objects, practices and processes' (p. 1) that constitute new digital cultures focuses on three specific institutional actors: public libraries, financial organizations, and national archives.
