Interesting. And I do think it is relevant also oudsite North America. There are multiple things at play here I guess. One aspect focused on in the above I think is the production of digital-only products (expressions, online articles, hypermedia pieces, tools etc). It is also important, I think, to discuss new objects of study that may also challenge the established disciplines, and the kind of cross-over, interdisciplinary theoretical zone which researchers/students would often draw on, and which may cause problems in relation to a traditional department. Other important issues include the assessed value of collaborative work practice, spending time in a lab (as opposed to an office) etc.
