| Synopsis: |
"Going Native" is the first sustained postcolonial critique of cyberculture and its role in globalization. The co-authors provide an incisive analysis of the emerging global system of "informational capitalism," focusing largely on the role that fantasies about the unwired world play in efforts to universalize digital culture. The authors write with a Zizekian flair across the whole terrain of global cyberculture, from mappings of cyberspace, to media representations of "wiring the world" (from "Wired" to the "Sports Illustrated" Swimsuit Issue), to tropes of cleanliness and dirtiness in digital discourse about the First and Third World in order to bring to light connections between the Internet, global capitalism, and its predecessor, colonialism. |
