Week 7- readings

White, M 2009, 'Networked Bodies and Extended Corporealities' Feminist Studies, Vol.35, Iss.3 Fall. http://ezproxy.deakin.edu.au/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=47191498&site=ehost-live&scope=site

The term 'new media' is used because it references an array of digital technologies and related practices. It also supports wide-sweeping claims about objects and processes and distinguishes these sites from earlier tendencies.

Using specific strategies, these authors (Kozel, Munster, Wegenstein, Toffoletti) provide critical methods for considering how bodies and embodiment are connected to, changed by, and elided through Internet and computer technologies.

Bell, D 2007, ‘Why Cyberculture?’ in Cyberculture theorists : Manuel Castells and Donna Haraway, Routledg http://ezproxy.deakin.edu.au/login?url=http://deakin.eblib.com.au/patron/Read.aspx?p=356004&pg=16

Combining all kinds of things together in cyberspace leaves us with an extensive list; not just computers and software, but also digital devices such as MP3 players, or BlackBerrys, or new medical imaging technologies, cyberpets, digital animations and simulations of all kinds. But cyberspace also exists in the imagination, in fiction, in the stories we tell ourselves about this world.

"Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by millions of legitimate operators… A graphical representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the non space of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding." (Gibson 1984; 67)

Cyberculture is a way of thinking about how people and digital technologies interact, how we live together- so the suffix 'culture' is used to talk of ways of life. Culture can also be defined as 'a network of embedded practices and representations (texts, images, talk, codes of behaviour, and the narrative structures organising these) that shapes every aspect of social life'. Cyberculture therefore refers here to ways of life in cyberspace, or ways of life shaped by cyberspace, where cyberspace is a matrix of embedded practices and representations.
