Hi Emiliano, I am currently in the beginning of my PhD dissertation which will be focusing on media ecology of internet environment(s). I rely heavily on Matthew Fuller's Media Ecologies -- Material Energies in Art and Technology. (MIT Press 2005) and new materialism / post-structural theories of Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari. You could also check out Jussi Parikka's Digital Contagions - A Media Archaeology of Computer Viruses (Peter Lang 2007). Media Ecology is one of his approaches. Moreover it would be nice to be in contact with you and people working with this topic in the future. Best, Tero 2010/2/18 Denise N. Rall <denrall@yahoo.com>
I assume you would have already looked at Bonnie Nardi & Vicki O'Days seminal work in this area.
Nardi, B. and V. L. O'Day (1999). Information Ecologies: Using technology with heart. Cambridge, MA, MIT Press.
You may also want to review what's been done in the area of cybergeography
There would be plenty of recent work on the complexity of overlapping internet geographies, but some early work is helpful, such as Thomas Parke Hughes _Networks of Power: Electrification in Western Society, 1880-1930_
Cheers, Denise
