Digital Culture and the Hermeneutic Tradition : Suspicion, Trust, and Dialogue Hardback
by Inge van de Ven, Lucie Chateau
Part of the Routledge Focus on Literature series
Hardback
Description
In our information age, deciding what sources and voices to trust is a pressing matter.
There seems to be a surplus of both trust and distrust in and on platforms, both of which often amount to having your mindset remain the same.
Can we move beyond this dichotomy, towards new forms of intersubjective dialogue?
This book revaluates the hermeneutic tradition for the digital context.
Today, hermeneutics has migrated from a range of academic approaches in to a plethora of practices in digital culture at large.
We propose a ‘scaled reading’ of such practices: a reconfiguration of the hermeneutic circle, using different tools and techniques of reading.
We demonstrate our digital-hermeneutic approach through case studies including toxic depression memes, the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial, and r/changemyview.
We cover three dimensions of hermeneutic practice: suspicion, trust, dialogue.
This book is essential reading for (under)graduate students in digital humanities and literary studies.
