Abstract
In July 2017, the UK’s Department of Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) had the word ‘digital’ added to its title. This addition reflected a formal revision of the department’s remit and the addition of responsibility for the UK’s digital infrastructure to its existing concerns. The re-named department’s first strategic report, published in 2018, was Culture is Digital, a document that celebrated and sought to further cement relations between the traditional concerns of culture ministries (i.e. with the funding and regulation of access to arts, heritage, and media provision within a territory) and an emerging and increasingly established ‘digital economy’ facilitated by the widespread availability and use of information and communication technologies and devices. In presenting this special issue, we identify this moment in the development of the UK’s policymaking as exemplifying an intensification of the relationship between the concepts of ‘culture’ and ‘digital’ which has been taking place around the world. This shift merits scholarly attention within cultural policy studies that considers not just what these technologies may or may not do for the sector and its institutions but to begin to take seriously the cultural values that underpin them.
