Announcing a new book on technology and society:
The Internet and Society
JAMES SLEVIN, University of Amsterdam
'By far the most sophisticated historical and theoretical treatment of the
Internet to appear so far, yet a real pleasure to read. Enormously
comprehensive and tough minded, Internet and Society dramatically raises
the
level of discussion about a phenomenon that is radically changing the way
we
live.' James Lull, Professor of Communication Studies, San Jose State
University, California
This book explores the impact of the internet on modern culture beyond the
fashionable celebration of 'anything goes' online culture or the overly
pessimistic conceptions tainted by the logic of domination. James Slevin
develops an original account of the internet and relates it to the analysis
of culture and communication in late modern societies. He offers a
critical
appraisal of contributions to the study of the internet and its related
networks such as intranets and extranets. He argues that these studies
fail
to deal adequately with the nature of communication and its role in an
increasingly uncertain world.
Slevin addresses this deficiency by elaborating a distinctive social theory
of the internet and its impact. He develops his argument by offering an
in-depth examination of the connections between the rise of the internet
and
new issues concerning the state, political and economic organization, the
process of self-formation, globalization, publicness, regulation and, above
all, the management of risk and uncertainty. Throughout the book, James
Slevin relates his analysis of the internet to a variety of substantive
examples of internet use from around the world and sets out and redefines
the tasks for further study
266 pages January 2000
0-7456-2086-8 hardback £50.00 0-7456-2087-6 paperback £14.99
