Book Description
Dale Spender is a whole-hearted convert to computing and cyberspace, but she has her concerns. How much will the Internet live up to its potential for improving the world and how much will it reinforce the gender power imbalances of the past and present? This book is about people more than computers. Her special focus is women, and what needs to be understood and done to build a more reasonable and equitable community in cyberspace -- and the rest of the world.

Book Description
As one of the most significant and original cross-cultural analyses of the distinctive language and culture of the internet, this book offers an exciting and original critique of the futuristic synthesis of the linguistic, visual, spatial and digital dimensions which characterise the world of the internet. Recognising that information technology and languages and cultures of the internet continue to expand almost exponentially, the authors provide a timely analysis of the themes and key concepts necessary for understanding the new languages of the internet. The book is organised around four interrelated themes: ‘The languages of cyberspace’, ‘New literacies’, ‘Gaming and socialising’, and ‘Culture and communities in cyberspace’. The authors build on the new tech-discourses and tech-cultures of the internet. Internationally acclaimed authors examine the cultural dimensions of cyberlanguage, screen reading and critical literacy, negotiating the web, literacy and technology, pedagogy of ‘edu-tainment’, children and CD-Rom technology, identity and mobile phones, cyberself and identity on the internet, and the new literacies of blogging and SMS messaging. This insightful and provocative study demonstrates the profound effects of information technology on the evolving global cultures and subcultures, caused by these new forms of thinking, perceiving and communication. Cyberlines 2.0: Languages and cultures of the internet is an essential text for teachers, students, IT professionals, media analysts, and marketing directors.

Book Description
An international anthology by feminists working in the field of electronic publishing, electronic activism, electronic data delivery, multimedia production, virtual reality creation, developing programs or products electronically, as well as those developing critiques of electronic culture. This collection explores what the possibilities are for feminists and for feminism. It also grapples with the pitfalls of the medium. The book, however, does not assume that the technology in itself is negative, but rather how it is used is open to critique. This leaves open the possibility of feminists having an impact on the way the technologies develop. The book includes connecting HTML with poetry, developing resources for Women's Studies and libraries, on-line, CD-ROM and VRML developments. The book has markets across trade and educational sectors and could be used at secondary and tertiary levels.

Book Description
Cybermind is an Internet mailing list, originally founded in 1994 to discuss the issues and problems of living online. It proved exceptionally fertile and is still going strong thirteen years later. This book is an ethnographic investigation which follows Cybermind members in their daily lives on the List, and explores the ways they look at the world, argue, relate online life to offline life, use gender, and build community. Perhaps the most comprehensive history of an Internet group ever published, it includes detailed analyses using List members' own words and commentary, and develops a unique theory of the relationship between culture, the problems of communication, and the ongoing processes of categorisation. Living on Cybermind illustrates how behaviour is affected by the organisation of communication, and how people deal with the paradoxes involved in resolving ambiguity and truth in a situation in which presence is always on the verge of slipping away.

Book Description
The SAGE Handbook of Gender and Communication is a vital resource for those seeking to explore the complex interactions of gender and communication. Editors Bonnie J. Dow and Julia T. Wood, together with an illustrious group of contributors, review and evaluate the state of the gender and communication field through the discussion of existing theories and research, as well as through identification of important directions for future scholarship. The first of its kind, this Handbook examines the primary contexts in which gender and communication are shaped, reflected, and expressed: interpersonal, organizational, rhetoric, media, and intercultural/global. Key Features: Brings together the expertise of leading scholars: Esteemed scholars edit each section and leading researchers in the field author each chapter. The distillation of scholarship in each area by seasoned scholars clarifies what is and is not known in that area of research. Offers historical and theoretical perspectives: Authors discuss the development of gender and communication research during the past three decades and examine the theories, questions, and issues about gender and communication that are ascending to define the next stage of work in the area. Provides comprehensive reference lists: Each section summarizes existing theory and research related to an area of gender and communication scholarship and guides readers to the central works in the field, as well as directs future scholarship toward the most urgent, important, and promising topics, methodologies, and/or perspectives.
