Postcolonial Studies Journal: Special Issue: 'Digital Culture'

Call for papers

 

Postcolonial studies is heavily affected by processes of globalisation.  Among these trends is the spread of networked computing and digital culture, from email and websites, from Usenet to massively multiple online games and digital art, from net news journals to blogs.  Digital culture also affects the world labour market as workers around the globe are recruited into high technology jobs as diverse as assembly line production of computers, homeworked programming of software and call centres where workers are taught the rudiments of foreign (mostly American) cultures to enable telephone support for products and services.  New media, in short, are now global.  This special issue inquires into the consequences of such phenomena for the postcolonial condition.

 

Submissions and expressions of interest may be sent to Postcolonial Studies, pcs-AT-netspace.net.au 



Final submissions will be due by 30 October 2004
