Research Cross-sectional topics Digital Methods in Context Digital and networked media permeate almost all areas of life. The analysis of digital traces – i.e. social media postings, audiovisual content, but also app and web tracking data – has enormous potential for understanding social phenomena. The same applies to the use of research software to survey media and data practices. However, both also (…) Infrastructures Various projects of the ZeMKI Labs pursue an improvement of digital infrastructures for research, teaching and science transfer beyond their respective research goals. The spectrum of approaches is conceivably broad and integrative: From information infrastructures to specific databases, apps and platforms, these efforts are designed to last and to make specific data, software, publication options (…) Sustainability and the good life The current transformation of media and communication is also a challenge for sustainability and the good life. This is not only about ecological issues, for example, in the sense that the energy requirements and environmental impacts of the infrastructures of digital media are immense. At the same time, however, it is a question of how (…)
