Fully-funded Research Studentship
The School of Languages, Cultures and Area Studies at the University of
Liverpool invites applications from candidates wishing to pursue PhD
research within the framework of our project on Latin American
Cyberculture and Cyberliterature.
Aims of the Project
The project will be supervised by Dr Claire Taylor and Dr Marieke Riethof
and aims to investigate the growing area of Latin American cyberculture
and cyberliterature in its varying manifestations.
Objects of study could include:
· performance art on the Internet
· blogs
· cyber-poetry
· hypertext narrative
· e-magazines
and other electronic communications.
The project will provide a sustained focus on a new and growing area of
cultural production, and will investigate ways in which cyberculture is
providing new configurations of subjects, narrative voices, and often
political agency, for Latin Americans.
You will be engaged in research which will lead to the consideration of
issues such as:
· grass-roots computing
· formation of cybercommunities
· technical/aesthetic innovation
and how these are inflected in Latin American online practice.
Candidates
We will give preference to candidates who hold, or expect to receive by
Autumn 2007, an MA or equivalent qualification for a higher research
degree.
