DESCRIPTION:\n	This episode of Theorizing the Web Presents explores the pre
 carious relationship between human agency and networked technologies in ou
 r contemporary age. In the first part\, titled “ABOLISH THE USER: Designin
 g Against the End of History\,” Melanie Bumpas examines how the ubiquitous
  design construct of “the user” constrains our experience of the web and f
 orecloses the possibility of new kinds of online sociality. Then\, in “Web
  Theory in a Warming World\,” Adam Boffa considers how climate change has 
 various implications for the future of digital media.The discussion is mod
 erated by Dr. Tanya Lokot\, Assistant Professor at the School of Communica
 tions\, Dublin City University\, whose writing focuses on the interplay be
 tween digital media and civic actors in the context of augmented protest.
