	abstract = {his review surveys and divides the ethnographic corpus on digital me
 dia into three broad but overlapping categories: the cultural politics
 of digital media, the vernacular cultures of digital media, and the pro
 saics of digital media. Engaging these three categories of scholarship
 on digital media, I consider how ethnographers are exploring the com
 plex relationships between the local practices and global implications
 of digital media, their materiality and politics, and their banal, as well
 as profound, presence in cultural life and modes of communication. I
 consider the way these media have become central to the articulation
 of cherished beliefs, ritual practices, and modes of being in the world;
 the fact that digital media culturally matters is undeniable but showing
 how, where, and why it matters is necessary to push against peculiarly
arrow presumptions about the universality of digital experience.},
