Description

Computational Culture: A Journal of Software Studies
http://computationalculture.net/
Computational Culture is an online open-access peer-reviewed journal
of inter-disciplinary enquiry into the nature of the culture of
computational objects, practices, processes and structures.
The journal’s primary aim is to examine the ways in which software
undergirds and formulates contemporary life. Computational processes
and systems not only enable contemporary forms of
work and play and the management of emotional life but also drive the
unfolding of new events that constitute political, social and
ontological domains. In order to understand digital objects such
as corporate software, search engines, medical databases or to enquire
into the use of mobile phones, social networks, dating, games,
financial systems or political crises, a detailed analysis of
software cannot be avoided.
A developing form of literacy is required that matches an
understanding of computational processes with those traditionally
bound within the arts, humanities, and social sciences but also in
more informal or practical modes of knowledge such as hacking and art.
The journal welcomes contributions that address such topics and many
others that may derive and mix methodologies from cultural studies,
science and technology studies, philosophy of
computing, metamathematics, computer science, critical theory, media
art, human computer interaction, media theory, design, philosophy.
Computational Culture publishes peer-reviewed articles, special
projects, interviews, and reviews of books, projects, events and
software. The journal is also involved in developing a series of
events and projects to generate special issues.
