I am organizing a session at the Crossroads in Cultural Studies
conference June 29-July 2 in Tampere, Finland. I invite both
grad students and faculty to submit papers. The session
listing is posted below. If you wish to submit to the session, email
150-word abstracts of your papers, or full papers to me; papers are
due by Jan. 31. For more information about the conference, see the
Crossroads web site at www.crossroads2002.com.
Doing Cultural Studies in Cyberspace
Considerations of communication technologies in modern cultures have been
instrumental in rise and development of Cultural Studies. Thus far,
however, the scholarly response within Cultural Studies to analyzing
Internet technologies has not been as strong or systematic as with (for
example) television. Although a great deal of Internet- focused research
has been multidisciplinary, a Cultural Studies approach has really not
been achieved despite the fact that a recent wave of critical work aimed
at demystifying the role of capitalism in controlling innovation,
distribution, and discourse in regards to new media technologies can
perhaps be seen as a beginning. What does Cultural Studies have to say
(and to do) regarding the growing presence of Internet technologies in the
everyday lives of many people in communities around the world? Papers that
explore the contextualities and contingencies of Internet use and those
that explore the role of Cultural Studies in rearticulating 'cyberculture
studies' or 'cyberspace' in general are invited for participation in this
panel.
