Notions of public and private spheres of life are increasingly 
indissoluble, shaped by a postdigital context where what happens 
digitally also happens without, between, and in dialogue with 
non-digitality. The collapse of public and private, digital and 
non-digital, shapes new relations of intimacy, emotion and affect, 
creating new ways of feeling, being and becoming in the world.

This event marks the end of an AHRC networking grant exploring these 
Postdigital Intimacies. Speakers will grapple with the notion of 
'postdigital intimacies' – and how this concept has proven useful in 
their research. We will also explore the next steps of the network at 
this event, including the publication of the papers in a special issue.
