Subject: On The Internet: New Issues from AAUP
Greetings,
[Following findings are from The University of Chicago Press --AAUP new
titles on topics History, Religion, Literature, Anthropology related to
cyberspace and touching all parts of life. Specially the book
"Othermindedness: The Emergence of Network Culture" is about Meditations
on network culture, hypertext, the geography of cyberspace, and
interactive film" written by Michael Joyce..would be very interesting to
the readers. I also found some more books, "Connected: Engagements with
Media", edited by George E. Marcus..the details about the book can be read at
<http://www.press.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/hfs.cgi/00/13025.ctl>
Which say..From the frontiers of cyberspace to Tibetans in exile, from
computer bulletin boards to faxes, film, and videotape, the ongoing and
often startling evolution of media continues to generate fresh new avenues
for cultural criticism, political activism, and self-reflection. How is
the contemporary life affected by this stunning proliferation of
information technologies?..How does the Internet influence, and perhaps
alter, user's experience of community..? and so..on.
Michael Joyce has also written a book, "Of Two Minds: Hypertext Pedagogy
and Peotics"..an acclaimed novelist's reflections on art and technology,
nonlinearity, and creative process..Michael Joyce is the Randolph
Distinguished Visiting Professor of English at Vassar College. The
Introduction: "The Comfort of Knowing We Are Not Lost" and Contents to the
book are available online and can be read at
<http://www.press.umich.edu/titles/09578.html> and at
<http://www.press.umich.edu/webhome/09578-intro.html>
Enjoy the publications! Thanks. --Arun Tripathi]
