Greetings, In my 2001 PhD dissertation, "Misbehavior in Cyber Places: The Regulation of Online Conduct in Virtual Communities on the Internet," I reviewed literature on media ecology and media environments, and used a broad definition of the Internet as a complex set of overlapping media environments. The dissertation is available from ProQuest/UMI in both printed and electronic form (PDF file) at http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations/fullcit/3022160 Regards to all, Janet Janet Sternberg, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Communication and Media Studies Latin American and Latino Studies Fordham University Bronx, NY 10458-9993 USA 718-817-4855 voice | 718-817-4868 fax jsternberg@fordham.edu | janet.sternberg@nyu.edu President, Media Ecology Association http://www.media-ecology.org Emiliano Treré wrote:
Hi everyone,
In my PhD dissertation I'm focusing on the relations between social movements and the media, especially the Internet. I need some help in bibliography with regard to two topics: 1. the concept of media environment, mediascape, media ecology, etc. I'm considering the whole media repertoire of activists and not just focus on one specific medium. 2. the conceptualization of Internet not as a simple medium: I need some hints on papers, books and theories addressing the complexity of the Internet as an environment, an ecology that cannot be reduced to a unique technological block.
Thanks a lot. Best, Emiliano Treré
