Thanks, Alexa Champion master's candidate @ cct.georgetown.edu http://members.home.com/amchampion/ ***apologies for x-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 locate critically 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 two new reviews. We begin with Andrew Kurtz's review of HOW WE BECAME POSTHUMAN: VIRTUAL BODIES IN CYBERNETICS, LITERATURE, AND INFORMATICS, winner of the Rene Wellek Prize for the best book in literary theory in 1998-99, awarded by the American Comparative Literature Association. Kurtz's review is followed by a rejoinder from the author, N. Katherine Hayles. Next up is Alexa Champion's review of DIGITAL BABYLON: HOW THE GEEKS, THE SUITS, AND THE PONYTAILS TRIED TO BRING HOLLYWOOD TO THE INTERNET, written by John Geirland and Eva Sonesh-Kedar. Forthcoming reviews include Dan Schiller's DIGITAL CAPITALISM: NETWORKING THE GLOBAL MARKET SYSTEM and the Steve Jones-edited DOING INTERNET RESEARCH: CRITICAL ISSUES AND METHODS FOR EXAMINING THE NET. david silver 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 ******************************************************************* %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
