The Language of New Media.
The language associated with new media and connected cultural and economic
forces derives almost exclusively from English (the "World Wide Web" is a
most obvious example). This panel seeks to explore the cultural contexts
surrounding the global dissemination of the language of new media. What
associations are implicit in the terms concerning information technologies?
How does the terminology circumscribe the use of new media technologies?
What are the cultural, political, social and economic ramifications of the
spread of this language within and beyond U.S. borders? Please send 500-word
abstracts and brief c.v. by November 20, 2001 to Jillana Enteen at
j-enteen@northwestern.edu.
