"Visibility and its counterpart, invisibility, are critical concepts in digital communication, although research on these concepts in communication studies has rarely been reflected on in an integrative way. This article aims to map key discussions in current research on in/visibility from a communi ... more

Yet these tools, "cryptopolitics," are transformed when used within digital media. Focusing on ... more

En primer lugar, si el auge de un nuevo pensamiento realista, que reflexiona sobre nuestra relación con los objetos materiales, con la naturaleza y con las ideas, es un pensamiento político. Con ese interrogante queremos examinar el mod ... more

In ihrer typischsten Form sind sie Text-Bild-Gefüge, die sich digital mit viraler Geschwindigkeit verbreiten und tr ... more
"Annekathrin Kohout und Wolfgang Ullrich versammeln Beiträge, die sich verschiedenen Aspekten der zeitgenössischen visuellen Kultur widmen: Was zeichnet die Kommunikation über Memes aus, und warum sind sie so beliebt?

As a critical node of contemporary communication and digital cultures, ... more
"Als Selfie oder im politischen Prozess, als gleichermaßen fluide wie langlebige Postings, in verstörenden Hassbildern oder als Labor des Feminismus wirken digitale Bilder in je eigenen Kontexten: Menschen inszenieren sich und werden inszeniert, vernetzen und bekämpfen sich, posieren und protesti ... more
