About Journal¶

spheres: Journal for Digital Cultures is an open peer-re­view­ed web jour­nal associated with the Cent­re for Di­gi­tal Cul­tu­res (CDC) at Leu­pha­na Uni­ver­si­ty of Lüne­burg. It is con­cer­ned with con­tem­pora­ry, his­to­ri­cal and emer­ging dis­cus­sions about di­gi­tal cul­tu­res, thereby ex­plo­ring the theo­re­ti­cal, po­li­ti­cal and so­ci­al sta­kes wi­t­hin the­se de­ba­tes as well as scrutinising key con­cepts like pu­blic sphe­res, me­dia sphe­res and at­mo­s­phe­res.

The pur­po­se of the web jour­nal is to ser­ve as a re­se­arch re­sour­ce, fre­e­ly avail­able as an open ac­cess pu­bli­ca­ti­on, which aims to make sen­se of the theo­ry and po­li­tics of di­gi­tal cul­tu­res. The jour­nal of­fers an innovative, useful and easy to access resource, com­bi­ning text with au­dio­vi­su­al con­tent and en­ab­ling new nar­ra­ti­ve forms in the field of di­gi­tal cul­tu­res. spheres, the­re­fo­re, seeks to pro­mo­te a dia­lo­gue bet­ween scho­lars, po­li­cy ma­kers, me­dia ar­tists, ac­tivists and ha­ckers, fos­te­ring the pro­duc­tion of globally-connected know­ledge, as well as al­li­an­ces bet­ween the Southern and Northern hemisphere.
