   Sammanfattning : Ever since the computer was introduced some 50 years ago, its role in society has been increasing. From being a tool for scientists and technicians, the computer has become a concern for everyone.

   Författare :Mikael Gustavsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; digital platforms; platformization; discourse; digital materiality;

   Sammanfattning : The digital platform has served us well as a metaphor for an imaginary ‘something’ made comprehensible through theories such as matchmaking, externalities, and network effects. But as much as metaphors and theories can help us imagine and understand some aspects of a phenomenon, they can also limit us in seeing others. LÄS MER

4. 3. Själens medium : Skrift och subjekt i Nordeuropa omkring 1500

   Sammanfattning : The era of the digital revolution has made it possible to acknowledge literature as a technological object, inseparable from its medium.

7. 5. Closer Together or Further Apart? : Public administration and archives in the digital age

   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; archives; digital work processes; discourse; outsourcing; public sector agencies; recordkeeping; records continuum model; Sweden;

   Sammanfattning : The research presented in this thesis is about recordkeeping in the public sector, focusing especially on the relationship between the public administration and its archives, and selected aspects affecting the way this relationship is developing in the digital era. Two research questions are addressed: RQ1: What are ‘archives’ and ‘recordkeeping’ in the digital context and the developing e-government? RQ2: What are the indications of current and future challenges regarding the cooperation between public administration and archives? Six studies resulting in six papers form the basis of the thesis.
