CFP: Those persistent boundaries

Internet Research 8.0 Vancouver Canada, October 17-20, 2007

This panel considers internet uses in transnational contexts. Since initial considerations of the internet, which premised new media as abolishing racial, ethnic, national and supernational boundaries, cyberculture studies have noted that online practices conform to geographical and cultural understandings of our physical world. This session will consider the affects of internet use as internet practices increasingly intersect with and reinscribe local environments. There will be particular emphasis on non-western or non-white internet participation.
