This research project explores the sociological implications of the digital revolution, focusing on its relationship with historical and cultural phenomena. It argues that while the digital reorganisation of society is significant, it's not an unprecedented technological transformation. The research proposes a meaning-centred, cultural sociological perspective that considers the interplay of digital, oral, and literate modes of mediation. It examines how the digital revolution transforms social institutions and embodied practices, drawing insights from the historical debate on the social effects of literacy. Our explorative research program aims primarily to encourage graduate and postgraduate students' involvement in diverse ways of sociological investigation and interpretation. It invites students to participate in overlapping projects that pursue documenting and understanding empirical evidence by utilising multiple layers of highly specialised academic research and broader public culture. The project questions the current sociology's public image as split between methodological rigour and activistic innovation.
