Greetings Scholars,
The February 2000 issue of of the journal Current History contains an
interesting article called "The Hall of Mirrors: The Internet in Latin
America," by Ricardo Gomez of the International Development Research
Center in Ottawa, Canada. --an important essay to read--
The site of Current History Journal is at <http://www.currenthistory.com>
Please look for Current Issue (February 2000) -BTW, you have to register

Points Related to the article:
-------------------------------
Latin American Internet users, like those in the developed world, "may be
merely surfing the labyrinth of Babel dreamt by Borges: a library in
which the contents matter far less than the apparent infinity of its
holdings".
"Half a century ago, Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges published two
short stories, "The Library of Babel" and "The Aleph". The first one
describes an infinite library containing every book imaginable. The second
speaks of a place in which one can seel all things that exist in all
places, from all possible angles and perspectives, in that single place
and time. Although we cannot quite imagine what Borges would have thought
of the Internet had he lived to experience it, these two images are
increasingly being used in the region to describe the hall of mirrors that
is the Internet today in Latin America".
The author has mentioned, the name of Italian philosopher, Giovanni
Sartori..who has analyzed the banalization of knowledge and culture
through television and claims it is only made worse in cyberspace.
Author Gomez has also discussed the techniques and philosophy of
'Cybereducation', besides Internet Guerrillas in the article.
The author, Ricardo Gomez, has also written on "The Nostalgia of Virtual
Community" published in "Information Technology and People" Journal, vol
11, no. 3.
"The Library of Babel" can be read at

I hope, you will enjoy the above ideas! Recently, this article is making
news in Latin America..and rest of the World!
Sincerely
Arun Kumar Tripathi
