The term "emerging technologies" seeks to demonstrate that the history of technology is not a linear evolutionary process. The invention of a new tool, technique, or means aims at initially addressing specific needs and solving particular problems, yet it simultaneously brings new questions to the surface and raises new types of challenges.

Technologies are dynamic, constantly involved in fermentations, revisions, and reframing; in other words, they exist under a regime of continuous "becoming." This collective volume examines, from this very perspective, the so-called "digital technologies" and attempts through a series of studies to highlight their dynamic transformations, the possibilities, as well as the limitations that their integration into our daily lives has brought about, particularly in recent decades.

The central concern of this collective endeavor is to explore how the radical revision of digital media affects the field of cultural heritage. Given that cultural heritage, as a term, encompasses multiple dynamics, negotiations, ruptures, and reframing, how should we approach the use of digital technologies in its management and promotion?

How are the meanings of cultural heritage expanded following the so-called "digital turn"? How does the condition of digitality affect perceptions on issues related to collections, art, museums, archives, intangible cultural heritage, and new forms of cultural production such as digital games?

How do topics like privacy, the experience economy, the concept of attention, and sentiment analysis fit into the discussion about culture? What are the new professional profiles being shaped in the cultural sector, and how are digital skills integrated into these?

What are the implications of the "post-digital condition," the now organic integration of the "digital" into the realm of culture? What dimensions does this phenomenon take on, especially during the pandemic period?
