Race in Cyberspace by Beth E. Kolko, Lisa iakamura, Gilbert B. Rodman
Requirements: .PDF reader, 82 mb
Overview: This collection is the first scholarly attempt to examine issues of race in “cyberspace”. A discussion of this subject in any medium has been pressing for more than a decade. Despite the exponential growth of the computer industry and network communications during the last twenty years, considerations of the role of “race” in the production and popular uses of the technology have been repressed. For breaking the silence, this book will remain an important contribution.
Most of the authors in this anthology regard “cyberspace” as a construction contingent on the ideas, institutions, and habits that structure our experience of the fleshed world. The word “cyberspace” also refers to a wide variety of discursive, performative and imaging practices that have contributed to shape digital culture. The book includes analysis of advertisements for digital technology companies and Internet Service Providers (ISPs), discussions of films about “cyberspace,” video games, net art, web sites, virtual environments such as MUDS (Multiple User Domains) and MOOS (MUD, Object- Oriented), as well as studies on language, identity and the history of computer distribution.
This collection will enrich scholar’s understanding of race in “cyberspace.”
