The full text of his speech in German in PDF form is apparently here:
http://www.renner-institut.at/download/texte/habermas2006-03-09.pdf
The translation that is circulating around the Internet of some of
what he said about the Internet from signandsight is:
"On the one hand, the communication shift from books and the printed
press to the television and the Internet has brought about an
unimagined broadening of the media sphere, and an unprecedented
consolidation of communication networks. Intellectuals used to swim
around in the public sphere like fish in water, but this environment
has become ever more inclusive, while the exchange of ideas has
become more intensive than ever. But on the other hand the
intellectuals seem to be suffocating from the excess of this
vitalising element, as if they were overdosing. The blessing seems to
have become a curse. I see the reasons for that in the de-
formalisation of the public sphere, and in the de-differentiation of
the respective roles."
Did you translate that other paragraph you quoted yourself, Jeremy
Hunsinger? Or was there another page on signandsight I missed?
It is excessively frustrating that his speech has not been translated
to English in full yet, so please add my voice to the request that
someone translate it and post it to the list (and preferably put the
translation onto a web page somewhere we can all link to).
P.S. Can anyone suggest how one should refer to a speech using
Endnote? I have ended up treating Habermas' speech transcript as an
"Electronic Source" resulting in this:
Habermas, J. (2006) Ein Avantgardistischer Spürsinn Für Relevanzen
Renner Institute Last accessed: 28 March, 2006 Last updated: 9
March, 2006 Address: http://www.renner-institut.at/download/texte/
habermas2006-03-09.pdf.
But I'm sure there's a better way...

hey folks,
to add to Danah's run down of myspace and noted lack of participation
from rural kids in the U.S.:
from the ethnographic work I did of rural youth (predominantly
working poor to lower middle class white folks) using new media in
the U.S. (primarily rural KY and its border states), young people in
non-metro communities did not use computers at school for myspace or
other community networking because <drum roll>
as poor as their school districts might be, the 1 thing their schools
(often county or regional aggregate schools here) did was invest in
tracking and website blocking software. Students couldn't view
anything online without their moves being registered and documented.
Most of the money and technology came from the State level. In other
words, this is what the State budgets would offer...that and
abstinence only sex ed of course.
so, rural public library branches were some of the most important
places for youth access outside of the home (and home access was
limited to a subset of white middle class kids where broadband
delivery was a luxury and not a given regardless of the means to buy
it). So, rural youth are still a predominantly dial-up crowd in the U.S.
really enjoying the list discussions these days.
best,
mg

"Avalon" is another multipler online game-themed movie - it's a
Japanese/Czech Republic production. "Tron" might also qualify. "Cry Wolf"
featured instant messaging.
What about "Ghost in the Shell" (1 and 2 - or are you avoiding animation?)?

The HCI in pop culture link is working again on the Berkshire Encyl of HCI
website.
It has 100+ descriptions of our sort of stuff in movies, plus perhaps 100
more in the songs, fiction, non-fiction, TV/radio, stage, music and
documentary sections.
Each has either a Short Synopsis or a Long Description, plus biblio. info.
Enjoy.
Thanks to Karen Chrristensen, Berkshire's publisher for speedy response to
my "link is down" alert, and to Trevor Young for actually bringing it up.
And while I have your attention, let me remind you of my Updating
CyberTimes site, which has 100++ entries of songs, movies, history from
befor Cybertimes that I -- and others -- have updated for current
applicability.
You can add too! Go to:
http://chass.utoronto.ca/oldnew/cybertimes.php
or if you forget, google my website, go to its URL, and then click on
Songs.

Nancy Baym was asking about the internet in movie life.
In the back of the 2 volume Berkshire Encyclopedia of Human-Computer
Interaction, edited by William Sims Bainbridge, there is a long list
(compiled by me and others) of movies with an HCIish slant. On the
website, there is a button for the "HCI in Popular Culture" but it doesn't
appear to be operative.
I am asking Karen Christiensen the publisher about it.
For details on the E of HCI, go to http://www.berkshirepublishing.com/#
and click on the book cover or Encyclopedia name.

Subject: [Air-l] internet in movies
Hello All,
I would like to compile a list of movies in which the internet plays
a significant role. Not being much of a movie-going gal myself, I
need help! Among those I can think of offhand are:
You've Got Mail (couple hate each other IRL, find true love anonymously
online)
Closer (couple is deceptively set up online by another leading to
very dysfunctional relationship)
The Net (identity theft almost ruins net-addicted heroine's life)
Must Love Dogs (couple find true love through online dating despite
net dating's general portrayal as rife with deceptive losers)
If you can identify others, especially with a really brief summary of
what role the net plays, please email me offlist. I'll compile list
and post to air-l
Thanks in advance,
Nancy

Many thanks to Jeremy for drawing our attention to Habermas'
intervention. Perhaps more is forthcoming when Habermas will be a
keynote speaker, alongside Manuel Castells, at the International
Communication Association conference, with the theme 'Networking
communication research,' in Dresden, Germany, this coming June. More
information, http://www.icahdq.org/events/conference/2006/conf2006.asp
