Organized by the consortium of the interdisciplinary project “SoLiXG: The Social Life of XG – Digital infrastructures and the reconfiguration of sovereignty and imagined communities” we invite stakeholders and the broader public to engage in a discussion on digitalization processes in Austria and the European Union.
Post-pandemic recovery plans in the EU and the UK involve an unprecedented expansion of digital infrastructures that promise to strengthen the resilience and sovereignty of the European Union and ‘upgrade’ the UK respectively. These new technologies will be part of the social fabric of everyday life and will be invested with new meanings and imaginations. “The Social Life of XG” (SoLiXG), öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster explores infrastructural imaginaries in relation to ideas of community, borders and sovereignty.
Part of this endeavour is to discuss questions revolving around the various imaginaries connected to “digitalization” or “the digital transformation” with stakeholders and the broader public. This offers scientific as well as practical insights into their entanglements. We invite you to join us in the roundtable event, where we discuss these pressing issues with the following experts.
