However, these claims have not always been based on strong research evidence. What are students and scholars actually \u003ci\u003edoing\u003c\/i\u003ein the day-to-day life of the digital university? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book examines in detail how the world of the digital interacts with texts, artefacts, devices and humans, in the contemporary university setting. Weaving together perspectives from a range of thinkers and disciplinary sources, Lesley Gourlay draws on ideas from \u003ci\u003eposthuman\u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003enew materialist\u003c\/i\u003etheory in particular, to open up our understanding about how digital knowledge practices operate. She proposes that digital engagement in the university should not be regarded as 'virtual' or disembodied, but instead may be understood as a complex set of entanglements of the body, texts and material artefacts, making a case that agency and the ways in which knowledge emerges should be regarded as 'more than human'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesley Gourlay\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Education at the Institute of Education, University College London, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52493828096307,"sku":"9781350194038","price":84.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/OFhpN2VmdW5sclZTWHZ6VmNjdEhGZz09.webp?v=1759964333","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/posthumanism-and-the-digital-university-texts-bodies-and-materialities-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
