[PHILOS-L] Journal Philosophy & Digitality: five new articles have been published in the Special Issue on "Affective Computing"

[jonathan...@t-online.de]

Dear colleagues,

 

Five new articles have been published in the P&D Special Issue on "Affective Computing":

 

Affective Computing as an approach to computer development with multiple applications has become a discursive showcase as well for critically analyzing different forms of the relationship between human emotionality and digital technology in all its (normative) consequences, as well as for predicting massive changes in them. This special issue aims to offer a current cross-section of some of the observing disciplines involved. The focus is less on formulating a single position than on carefully clarifying some premises of the debates that have been conducted.

 

The special issue is being published under a rolling publication model. The first article appeared at the end of 2025, and a further five articles have now been published. The special issue will be completed in autumn.

Newly published are:

• Lydia Farina: "From knowing too little to knowing too much. Automated Emotion Recognition and Implications for Autonomous Agency"
• Alexander Campolo: "Labels and Emotions. Machine Learning's Scientific Objects"
• Gabriele Gramelsberger: "Affective Infrastructure. Towards the Naturalization of the Digital"
• Tom Poljanšek: "Pulling Our Strings. Atmospheric Experience and Background Exploitation in the Age of AI"
• Anna Tuschling: "Encoding Emotions. Affective Computing and Emotion AI as virtual Semantics"

 

All articles can be viewed and downloaded as open-access publications here: https://journals.ub.uni-koeln.de/index.php/phidi/issue/view/649

 

In contrast to existing journals that deal with the phenomenon of digitization alongside other technological phenomena, the focus of our Journal "Philosophy & Digitality" is specifically on the philosophical significance of digitization and its dimensions in the humanities, cultural studies, and media studies, as well as on aesthetic, ethical, political, ontological, and epistemic dimensions. Phenomena of digitalization such as artificial intelligence, the Internet or metaverse, computer games, but also the symbolic nature of the digital as well as code structures and recent technologies such as blockchain are at the center of interest. Furthermore, forms and methods of digitized research procedures, such as in the Digital Humanities, will be reflected from a philosophical perspective.

Kind regards,

Jonathan D. Geiger on behalf of the editorial team of "Philosophy & Digitality"
