The World Wide Web and Contemporary Cultural Theory, edited by A. Herman and T. Swiss (original) (raw)

This edited volume explores the intersection of the World Wide Web and contemporary cultural theory, presenting critical perspectives on its commercialization, potential for new identities, and the transformation of social and economic paradigms. The contributors engage with themes such as hypertextual epistemologies, the impact of digital mediums on journalism, and the continuing significance of critical theory. While acknowledging the corporatization of the web, the collection highlights opportunities for resistance and the need for new theoretical frameworks to address contemporary issues of race, class, and gender in digital spaces.
