This book proposes a new theoretical framework for approaching the causes and effects that digital technologies and the imaginaries related to them have on the processes of self-interpretation and subjectivation. It formulates three main theses. First, it argues that today’s digital technologies, which are primarily based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and big data are formidable habitus machines: they offer increasingly personalized services, but these machines are actually indifferent to individuals and their personalities. Second, this book contends that the effectiveness of these machines does not depend solely on their concrete capacity to classify the social world. It also depends on the expectations, hopes, fears, and imaginaries that we have concerning these technologies and their capacities. This cultural habitus—a worldview, or world picture—leads us to believe in the concrete effectiveness of AI and its potential for our societies. Third, the author takes this Bourdieusian notion of habitus and connects it to current “empirical turn” in philosophy of technology. He contends that, by looking too closely at the things themselves, many philosophers of technology have deprived themselves of the possibility to study the symbolic conditions of possibility in which single technological artifacts are always embedded. Digital Habitus will appeal to scholars and students working in philosophy of technology, the ethics of artificial intelligence, media studies, and science and technology studies.

"What God Gave to Us": Digital habits and the shifting social imaginary of American evangelicalism examines how "digital habitus" (following Bourdieu, 1977; Sterne, 2000) has shaped the social imaginary (Taylor, 2004) of the American evangelical subculture. Using mixed qualitative methods including real-world ethnographic participant observation, interviews, and digital ethnography, the author presents four case studies that spring from what the author conceives of as a "digital unconscious" (following from Walter Benjamin's (2010) notion of the "optical unconscious") of evangelicalism. This study begins by situating evangelical digital habitus in the context of the long history of media use in American evangelicalism, a history that has often seen this subculture using media technologies means to prove their fitness in the modern world. In my first case study I analyze how contemporary evangelical worship spaces have become infused with technology and technological products. I take Life Church in Edmond, Oklahoma, which calls itself a "startup church" as the central example of how churches are adapting their services and spaces to meet the needs of a suburban populace increasingly defined by digital habitus. My second case study explores the world of faith tech. My interviews explore how these religious entrepreneurs negotiate their place in the hierarchical culture of technology production centered in Silicon Valley. I also discuss how many evangelicals see their work as having "redemptive" potential for both the tech industry and American culture. In my third case study I analyze the motivations of a network of Christian missionaries who are dedicated to incorporating new media technology into missions work. I argue that these evangelicals are wary of corporate culture and instead identify with the early visionaries of the internet especially with the Free and Open Source Software movement. Their experiments with technology have run into problems in indigenous contexts and these issues have revealed the problems inherent in the Western nature of technology production. Lastly, this study turns to users and takes a network of female evangelicals on Twitter as examples of a new connective feminism in evangelical culture brought about by the affordances of digital media.

This work approaches the modern phenomenon of online dating, examining the ways people make use of its technical and social potential. In particular, the users' mate preferences, choices, strategies, and interactions are analyzed using the innovative method of click-stream observations and web-questionnaire data. For the purpose of these analyses, two major theories are used - an explicit theory of individual mate choice, and the more general relational theory developed by Pierre Bourdieu, which helps to highlight the social structures both underlying and resulting from mating online. Results show that online dating is not a partner marker free from social structure, but that the traditional social conditions found offline are also reproduced in this virtual setting. In contrast to the picture drawn by media discourse and advertising, online dating represents a partner market which fulfills the promise of happiness in a socially differential way.

The economic geography of music is evolving as new digital technologies, organizational forms, market dynamics and consumer behavior continue to restructure the industry. This book is an international collection of case studies examining the spatial dynamics of today’s music industry. Drawing on research from a diverse range of cities such as Santiago, Toronto, Paris, New York, Amsterdam, London, and Berlin, this volume helps readers understand how the production and consumption of music is changing at multiple scales – from global firms to local entrepreneurs; and, in multiple settings – from established clusters to burgeoning scenes. The volume is divided into interrelated sections and offers an engaging and immersive look at today’s central players, processes, and spaces of music production and consumption. Academic students and researchers across the social sciences, including human geography, sociology, economics, and cultural studies, will find this volume helpful in answering questions about how and where music is financed, produced, marketed, distributed, curated and consumed in the digital age.

Writing has always been digital. Just as digits scribble with the quill or tap the typewriter, digits compose binary code and produce text on a screen. Over time, however, digital writing has come to be defined by numbers and chips, not fingers and parchment. We therefore assume that digital writing began with the invention of the computer and created new writing habits, such as copying, pasting, and sharing. Habitual Rhetoric: Digital Writing before Digital Technology makes the counterargument that these digital writing practices were established by the handwritten cultures of early medieval universities, which codified rhetorical habits—from translation to compilation to disputation to amplification to appropriation to salutation—through repetitive classroom practices and within annotatable manuscript environments. These embodied habits have persisted across time and space to develop durable dispositions, or habitus, which have the potential to challenge computational cultures of disinformation and surveillance that pervade the social media of today.
