New media and public vs. private space
A query on my own behalf... The last chapter of the book that I'm writing (I'm currently revising this chapter of the manuscript) deals with issues of private vs. public space and new media technologies. I want to make sure that I'm not missing any key texts or insights. Is there anything that I really must read? I am focusing on fairly particularly on the notion of space.

Thanks so far for all the responses. I'm compiling a list of recommendations and will post it once the recommendations stop rolling in. I should probably add that I'm not so interested in the concept of the "public sphere" as I am with ideological constructions public space and private space; so, mostly the physical spaces and their meanings. I've written a bit on communication technologies and private/public space, first on the phonograph in the Victorian home, and now on new media. The material I've turned into this chapter was presented in part at the ICA communication history pre-conference. If anyone wants to look at that rough, rough, rough draft, it's available (for better or for worse!), it's here: http://prologue.newmediaandsociety.com/papers/historicizing/kruse.pdf Many improvements have been made, but this draft has the general ideas in it. Thanks again, Holly On 6/22/09 4:21 PM, "Holly Kruse" <holly-kruse@utulsa.edu> wrote:

Greetings, I reviewed literature on space and place from a media ecology perspective in my 2001 PhD dissertation, "Misbehavior in Cyber Places: The Regulation of Online Conduct in Virtual Communities on the Internet" (see Chapter 2 in particular). 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 Holly Kruse wrote:

On the conceptual level, you should read Helen Nissenbaum's paper on "Privacy as Contextual Integrity", <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=534622> (Her then PhD student Michael Zimmer has elaborated on this in a couple of good blog posts at http://michaelzimmer.org.) Bottom line: It may make sense to not anymore distinguish between "private" and "public" spaces (especially online), but between different "contexts". This also brings an interesting and more positive perspective on the "walled gardens" theme about Facebook and the likes.

Thanks to everyone who sent me recommendations for sources on new media and public/private space. Because so many people have been so kind, and also because so many people have expressed interest in the topic, I'm posting the works I've cited in my book manuscript that I'm using specifically to discuss issues of space and place. Below that are the same types of sources that I used in my first book. As is evident, there aren't too many specific to the internet and mobile ICTs: hence my query from yesterday. I'll compile the recommendations I've received via the list and post those in a bit. And please, keep them coming if you have any. Holly Kruse Faculty of Communication The University of Tulsa 800 S.
