Brief Theme Note:Platforms of expression, interaction, surveillance, mediation, intervention and resistance have exploded greatly in the current fast-unfolding era of multidimensional digital high technology. This makes any assumption on anything highly tentative and mediated beyond recognition. Most of our socio-cultural narratives frequently get intervened, modified and sabotaged in the contemporary hyperconnected, hyperinteractive, and hyperspontaneous world. Individuals and institutions are inextricably attached to the web of electronic traffic of ideas and contestations. Therefore, Humanities Circle thinks that it would be a highly enriching academic experience to explore the various ways in which the agency faculty of the homo sapiens is exerted in the hypermediated global order.
