The Center for Theory presents a roundtable discussion about the role of digital technology in society. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary, cross-campus dialogue about the problems society faces to deal with digital technology. Following the publication of The Dialectic of Digital Culture, four contributors will discuss the ways power is challenged and/or reproduced in the realm of the digital. The four contributors will provide a brief summary of their work. Then Dr. David Arditi, Director of the Center for Theory, will lead a discussion about the promises of digital technology. How has society progressed in relation to digital technology? Who has power on the Internet? How does power hide? In what ways are people empowered and disempowered by digital networks?
