First Published in 2001. In this collection of essays and
interviews, Mark Poster examines theoretical approaches and
develops his own position on our information based society. He
contends that new communications media disrupt and transfigure the
way identities are constituted in cultural exchanges. He looks in
detail at several aspects of what might be called "internet
culture", including virtuality and democracy. Poster advocates an
awareness of the Internet and other new forms of communication,
calling for a mobilization to ensure accessibility to all and to
configure technology into vehicles of open cultural creation. For
example, nothing is pure about the Internet politically, he points
out, and it remains an open question as to who will transform the
potentiality of new communications media into determinate cultural
configurations. This book explores the rupture and potentiality
between the electronic self and the face-to-face self inherent in
new forms of technology and media.
