Apologies for the self-promotion, but here is my take on the subject : Viviane Serfaty, "L'Internet : fragment d'un discours utopique", Communication et Langages, 119 (janvier-mars 1999)106-117. Available online : http://www.chez.com/vserfaty.utopie.html Best, VS Selon Nancy Baym <nbaym@ku.edu>:
A dual question:
Has anyone got particular favorite utopain or dystopian statements/landmarks about the internet? (preferably with citation) I'm thinking of things like famous ads promising us liberation from race age etc, Negroponte's "Being Digital," as well as quotations.
-or-
Does anyone know of any papers or lists tracing the uptopian or dystopian highlights of rhetoric about the internet?
Thanks,
Nancy
