Space, place, and digital technologies

This article examines the role of space and place in understanding digitalisation of society, drawing from debates in the anglophone social science discipline of human geography. It provides an indication of how approaches to the geographical dimensions of digitalisation have changed over time, beginning by setting out a central opposition that existed in earlier accounts of the spatial form of digital technologies. It then develops some of the present-day implications for understanding space and place through a focus on work and workplaces, before turning to some possible future directions of research.
