Que sont nos perceptions du numérique, ou plus précisément des techniques numériques ? Comment se sont implantés les géants du numérique (les Big Five) ? Pourquoi, en Europe surtout, les autorités ont-elles réagi si tardivement à l'avancée des industries américaines du numérique ? Les discours sociaux actuels sur le numérique sont marqués par une projection dans le futur et une détermination fébrile à s'adap- ter aux offres de changements, dans une quasi-absence de débat public et avec une grande passivité des responsables politiques.Comment s'y retrouver ? En s'appuyant sur une connaissance précise et argumentée de l'apport des techniques numériques au fonctionnement de l'information et de la communication, Bernard Miège questionne les perceptions et les représentations du rôle de ces techniques numériques dans la société de la communication. Ainsi, cet ouvrage offre à la fois une synthèse de très nombreux travaux de recherche français et étrangers, et une interrogation approfondie sur les développements des techniques numériques dans les sociétés contemporaines, et particulièrement dans la société française.

Taking a close look at ordinary people 'telling their own story', Nancy Thumim explores self-representations in contemporary digital culture in settings as diverse as reality TV, online storytelling, and oral histories displayed in museums. Self-Representation and Digital Culture addresses the institutional contexts of production, technology and form of the texts, and the point of view of those who represent themselves. This highly original research examines how contradictory and widely different politics inform and shape examples of 'speaking for oneself'. Thumim argues that analysis and theorization of the activity of self-representation is vital for media, communication and cultural studies at a time when examples of this genre both surround us and appear, at first glance, to all be alike.
