Digital space productions and space productions of the digital
September 26 – October 1, 2021 (online from Erlangen)
Recent social and cultural geography asks how social spaces are produced and transformed. The relationships between spatial productions and digitization will be explored in the 2021 Human Geography Summer School along two dimensions. “Digital Space Production” asks how, with the digital transformation, societal spaces are increasingly also produced digitally. At the same time, the digital is spatially shaped in certain ways: “spatial productions of the digital”.
In five days, the summer school offers insights into the dynamic field of digital geographies in six thematic modules:
-
- Fundamentals of digital transformation and (new) spatial concepts of the digital
-
- GIS and the digital modeling of space
- Political geographies of the digital city: rationalities and logics in governance through digitization
-
- Political geographies of digital circulation: problematizations, policies, and strategies of government of digitization
-
- ICT4D & “digital development“: Digitalization as a development strategy?
- Political ecologies of digitization
The summer school is aimed at advanced students and young scholars from geography and neighboring disciplines who want to learn, deepen and network in the dynamic field of a Digital Geography. The Summer School 2021 is organized by the team of the DFG Science Network “Digital Geographies” and on site in Erlangen by Master students of Erlangen Cultural Geography with Finn Dammann MA, Dr. Dominik Kremer as well as Prof. Dr. Blake Walker & Prof. Dr. Georg Glasze.
