The Information Society, Post-Modern Virtualities and Cyberdemocracy: Critical Engagements with Mark Poster A seminar to be held at Edge Hill College of Higher Education, Saturday July 3rd ? Sunday July 4th, under the aegis of the Social and Cultural Movements Research Group. The purpose of this seminar is to capitalise on the presence of Mark Poster in the UK, on a visit to give the closing plenary address at the 2nd International Conference of the Social and Cultural Movements Group, on the theme of ?Imaging Social Movements?. The idea behind the seminar is to explore Poster?s recent thinking and publications, focused on his analysis of The Mode of Information, (What?s the Matter with) the Internet, Post-Modern Virtualities and Cyberdemocracy. The seminar will involve a maximum of six or seven papers, with a reply by Poster concluding the seminar. The seminar will have limited numbers in order to keep it manageable for discussion and debate. The papers and Poster?s reply will be published as a special edition of a journal. Delegates at the 2nd International Conference of the Social and Cultural Movements Group will be charged a nominal fee to cover subsistence costs.
