Geographies of digital culture

Abstract

The geographical research on the digital contains several dimensions that are highlighted by different sub-disciplines. They are linked by theoretical debates as well as in research on particular empirical topics. The term "digital geographies" is coined to address the manifold interrelations between geographical research and the digital. Research on the spatial distribution of material infrastructures appears as a major area implying a turn from theoretical and conceptual frameworks toward empirical work. In this sense, classic geographic epistemologies focus on spatially distributed material structures which are explored as the outcome of cultural, economic, and technological transformations. The effect of reflecting on abstract theoretical efforts should, for instance, be an increased attention to the several potential analytical dimensions. In order to augment and expand this perspective, it is helpful to focus on subjective individual perceptions and appropriations of space and place. The chapter also presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book.
