This roundtable will engage with the way in which the arrival and expansion of the digital has impacted research methods. It enters research methods after the digital by asking us to consider the relationship between social lives and media technologies from a vantage point that places the digital in a longer continuum of media. Thus, even after the great digital rupture and the methods that it engenders, this roundtable asks what are the concepts and tools that enable us to reframe the digital and/or which perspectives does looking at the digital alone ignore? Which methods, concepts and traditions can be rethought after the great digital appearance?
