This book explores the concept of cyberplace as a mode of
inhabiting the contemporary world. As a result, it suggests that,
for many communities, unlocking cyberspace and inhabiting
cyberplaces is now an integral part of their
coming-to-the-globalised-world. Boos reviews in the detail the
existing academic literature from cultural anthropology, human
geography, and sociology on "cyberspace", concluding that a
phenomenological perspective on cyberspace provides the possibility
of gaining a deep understanding of our contemporary lifeworlds, in
which on- and offline practices constantly intermingle. In four
chapters, he applies the developed theoretical and methodological
approaches to the case of Siena's neighbourhoods, the contrade,
analysing their websites and discussing the implications of his
findings for understanding contemporary processes of community
building and for future research on cyberspace. This concise and
accessible book will be of interest to advanced students and
scholars in cultural anthropology, human geography, media studies
and sociology.
