| Synopsis: |
The papers collected here are as presented at the conference and represent a truly diverse international body of opinion They draw upon a wide range of discursive strategies to examine ideas of humanity within what has loosely come to be known as 'cyberculture'. From one perspective are those approaches that seek to reveal some new aspect of the experience of living within cyberculture. These papers are collected in the first section entitled 'Living Within Cyberculture Today'. Here attention focuses upon the nature of life within an era of intense social political and technological change. Attention is focussed upon the way in which technology is understood to intersect into the various social systems that provide meaning and structure to lives in contemporary society.We may argue that technology makes itself manifest at a multiplicity of levels; it transforms economies, bringing about entire industries; it modifies work and social practices, offering new pathways of communication and making redundant older means of communication; it intersects in the very form of our messages take, bringing about new communicative patterns and consequentially new ways of understanding and being in the world. |
