DIGITAL ICONS: STUDIES IN RUSSIAN, EURASIAN AND CENTRAL EUROPEAN NEW MEDIA

Digital Icons: Studies in Russian, Eurasian and Central European New Media (Digital Icons) is an online publication that appears twice a year. The journal is a multi-media platform that explores new media as a variety of information flows, varied communication systems and networked communities. The main goal of the journal is to disseminate research on new media in the region across global communities of scholars, media practitioners and the general public. Contributions to Digital Icons cover a broad range of topics related to the impact of digital and electronic technologies on politics, economics, society, culture and the arts in Russia, Eurasia and Central Europe. The journal publishes works that explore developments in information and communications technologies and their impact on the governance, economy and cultural life of the region. Submissions focusing on internet use and new media forms among the various diasporas of the region are also welcome. Digital Icons publishes articles by scholars from a variety of academic backgrounds, as well as artists’ contributions, interviews, comments, reviews of books, digital films, animation and computer games, and relevant cultural and academic events as well as any other forms of discussion of new media in the region.
