Description

Comprehensive analysis of both contemporary web-based culture and arts and the impact of the internet on international economics, politics and law. The new edition of Web.Studies incorporates not only the comprehensive analysis of Web-based culture and arts along with the effects of the internet on international economies, politics and law, but new chapters have been added focusing on the latest developments and controversies in cyberspace. Aspects of everyday life online are explored as well as art and commerce, global communities and the politics of internet access and activisim. It is an essential book for all students of Sociology, Media and Communication, studying the World Wide Web. 'It is a thoughtful and well-balanced general overview of the subject that will be required for reading on many undergraduate studies courses.' - Peter Dean in Convergance, 2002 'Web.Studies sets the agenda for a new period of media research, one that gets to grips with the significance of new communications technologies and the global spaces in which they are so repidly developing. I believe that this book will help considerably to take media studies in new directions.' - Professor Kevin Robins, Goldsmiths College, University of London
