We are pleased to announce the release of a new book by Prof. Jarema Drozdowicz, titled Analog Cultures: How to Learn, Work, and Survive in a Digital World.
This insightful publication offers a compelling analysis of the relationship between emerging digital technologies and the material dimensions of human action. Prof. Drozdowicz explores the transformations occurring in key areas of contemporary life—particularly education, work, and everyday lifestyles.
The book presents a multi-layered reflection on the societal impact of digitization across various domains of public life. It also addresses the personal and collective experiences of interacting with digital tools and artificial intelligence algorithms. These phenomena are situated within the broader context of analog mobility, survival strategies, and photographic practices, providing a rich and nuanced perspective on the evolving landscape of technological culture.
At the core of the book lies the concept of analog cultures—understood as emerging forms of learning communities and social relations grounded in analog technologies while creatively engaging with digital reality. Prof. Drozdowicz argues that being a digital creator and educator of the future necessarily involves drawing on the resources and values of analog methods and tools.
