SUMMARY:Sybille Krämer: Cultural history of digitisation
DESCRIPTION:It is often assumed that digitisation and computer technology a
 re inseparably linked. However\, digitality is part of a much older cultur
 al history\, namely the symbols and signs that people have been inventing 
 and developing since the first cave paintings\, the first characters and m
 athematical symbols humans used to describe\, structure and share their wo
 rld. Digitisation thus did not come through machine technology\, but rathe
 r through early symbolization practices. In this light\, the alphabet is a
  prototype of a digital system\, but also all the counting systems that qu
 antify and make our world comparable. In her lecture\, the philosopher Syb
 ille Krämer therefore tries to dissolve the connection between digitisati
 on and computer technology in order to understand why digitalisation can p
 enetrate our lives and our society so quickly and so profoundly. In fact\,
  there are answers to the questions “What is the meaning of digital?” 
 and “What is the meaning of digitalisation?” that reach beyond compute
 r technology.\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\nSybille Krämer: Cultural His

 ral Agency for Civic Education (bpb) are therefore continuing the Lecture 
 Series Making Sense of the Digital Society that was launched in 2017. The

 cesses of transformation and its societal impact. The first speaker of thi
