Digital Culture & Society (DCS)

What can technological phenomena such as cyborgs reveal about presence and data infrastructures in the age of digital platforms? This issue foregrounds the cyborg not as a metaphor for hybridity but as an analytical lens. With emphasis on AI, datafication, robotics and digital health, it asks how bodies, technologies and infrastructures become newly entangled, and how the boundaries between bodies, technologies and social order are continuously produced and transformed. Drawing on feminist, disability and crip theory, it examines mediated presence, embodiment and agency across platform societies.
