cyberspace and cosmopolitanism?
Hi there, I'm beginning to look more closely at competing models of citizenship for online activists, and am wondering where to look for treatments of the relationship between cyberspace and cosmopolitanism(s). Theorists of globalization treat this in a very general way, but I'm looking for more specific approaches. I know that Charles Ess has written a piece called "Cosmopolitan Ideal or Cybercentrism? A Critical Examination of the Underlying Assumptions of "The Electronic Global Village." Can anyone point me toward other materials like this? Thank you in advance, Elizabeth Maurer PhD ABD Department of English UBC
hello elizabeth, not sure whether i'm pointing you into the desired direction, but on the gawc network there is a number of papers dealing with i.e. the globalization of the architectural & consulting business. now for this practice to be effective it of course precludes a strong degree of international networking, and hence "cyberspace-mediated" communication becomes a neccessary precursor to cosmopolitanism- in that field of business, that is. you can find the collection of gawc-papers here: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/gawc/publicat.html hope that helps, maxd
