Special Issue: From Tradition to Transmission: The Transformation of Culture and Social Life in the Digital Age

2025-05-01

The digital revolution has profoundly reshaped the foundations of culture, communication, and social life. This special issue aims to explore how rapid technological development has influenced the philosophical and existential dimensions of human existence, altered patterns of cultural expression, and redefined concepts of identity and community. From ancient rituals to modern algorithms, culture has moved from being primarily inherited and embodied to being circulated, mediated, and reimagined through digital platforms. This issue invites contributions that critically examine the impact of digitalization on education, language, literature, the arts, and persons' identity. It seeks to create a space for interdisciplinary reflection on how digital culture reconfigures access to cultural heritage, transforms interpersonal communication, and generates new modes of meaning-making. Particular attention will be paid to the tensions between globalizing forces and local traditions, and to the ethical and philosophical questions emerging in a hyperconnected world. The aim is to foster a nuanced, global dialogue on the continuity and rupture of culture in the digital age.
