From: david silver <[log in to unmask]> Subject: new reviews in cyberculture *** apologies for cross-posting *** New Book Reviews in Cyberculture Studies Each month, the Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies (RCCS) <otal.umd.edu/~rccs/> publishes two full-length book reviews. The reviews reflect a modest attempt to critically locate various contours of the emerging and interdisciplinary field of cyberculture studies. To date, RCCS has published over 50 book reviews, covering a range of topics, from online culture, communities, and identities to hypertext, digital literacy, and artificial intelligence to Internet policy, the digital divide, and online privacy. This month, RCCS features three reviews of two books. Mike Ayers and Ed Pai separately review CYBERGHETTO OR CYBERTOPIA? RACE, CLASS AND GENDER ON THE INTERNET, edited by Bosah Ebo. Karin Geiselhart reviews TECHNOLOGY AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, edited by Brian Martin. Forthcoming reviews include N. Katherine Hayles' HOW WE BECAME POSTHUMAN: VIRTUAL BODIES IN CYBERNETICS, LITERATURE, AND INFORMATICS and the Steve Jones-edited DOING INTERNET RESEARCH: CRITICAL ISSUES AND METHODS FOR EXAMINING THE NET. david silver american studies, university of maryland resource center for cyberculture studies http://www.glue.umd.edu/~dsilver/ ******************************************************************* resource center for cyberculture studies http://otal.umd.edu/~rccs if you are interested in joining a low volume announcement list for rccs events and updates, please email: [log in to unmask] no subject is required. in the body, type: subscribe cyberculture ******************************************************************* %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
