Making, Managing and Experiencing ‘the Now’: Digital Media and the Compression and Pacing of ‘Real-Time’

Dear all,For the first TiM lecture, we have invited Rebecca Coleman to talk about “Making, Managing and Experiencing ‘the Now’: Digital Media and the Compression and Pacing of ‘Real-Time’”.Coleman discusses a recent article that reflects on an ongoing project called Mediating Presents: Producing ‘the now’ in Contemporary Digital Culture (funded by the Leverhulme Trust). The project examines the significance of the temporality of the present to how social worlds are felt, experienced and lived out today, concentrating on the role that digital media play in organising and arranging these presents. It takes seriously, but critically analyses, how digital media are frequently described as ‘live’, ‘real time’, ‘instantaneous’ and ‘always on’, asking whether these ‘now times’ are coherent or unified. The journal article, ‘Making, Managing and Experiencing the Now: Digital Media and the Compression and Pacing of “Real-Time”’ (2020, New Media and Society), explores how UK based digital media professionals discuss these ‘now times’, and how these temporalities are stretched and condensed according to entangled relations between humans and non-humans (such as platform conventions and institutional expectations). We are looking forward to seeing you there. Very best wishes, TiM Community
