Description
This anthology brings together studies on computer-mediated electronic space and social interaction and thus expands the available research on cyberspace and its social, cultural and psychological impact. Section 1 addresses broad issues and theoretical positions relevant to this new area of study, provides a theoretical and philosophical basis for the more specific analyses of cyberspace, and links those analyses to larger issues in the field of communication. Section 2 covers the functions of cyberspace, especially the ways in which cyberspace is used as a functional alternative to a place or set of places. Section 3 covers the form that cyperspace takes in comparison to the forms of physical space and other types of mediated space such as writing, print, and film. Finally, section 4 covers the forms of communication and characteristic of cyberspace, the emergence of a new cyberculture, and the ways in which it alters more traditional meanings of the self or subject, sexuality, and community.
