Miller Hugh and Mather Russell, 1998

The Presentation of Self in WWW Home Pages

http://sosig.esrc.bris.ac.uk/iriss/papers/paper21.htm

Identity is socially mediated (Gilligan, 1982), and much of that mediation is through language (Harre, 1989). It follows that as new social processes and new ways of using language emerge, it may be possible to develop new aspects of identity. It has been suggested, for instance by Gergen (1991, 1992), that the developing communication technologies of the last twenty years have had profound implication for our sense of self.

Bridging the Digital Divide: The Impact of Race on Computer Access and Internet Use

http://www.cybercultura.it/pdf/1998_Bridging_Digita_Divide.pdf

That portion of the Internet known as the World Wide Web has been riding an exponential growth curve since 1994 (Network Wizards 1998; Rutkowski 1998), coinciding with the introduction of NCSA’s graphically-based software interface Mosaic for “browsing” the World Wide Web (Hoffman, Novak, and Chatterjee 1995).

Do Electronic Mass Media Have Negative Effects On Indigenous People?

http://www.fiu.edu/~mizrachs/media-effects-indians.html

The media do not cause indigenous people to acculturate to the dominant society, and actually help them resist acculturation.

Embodied Presence in Virtual Environments

http://www.personal.uni-jena.de/~sth/papers/vri98.pdf

Presence, the sense of being in a virtual environment (VE), is analysed in an embodied cognition framework. We propose that VEs are mentally represented as meshed sets of patterns of actions and that presence is experienced when these actions include the perceived possibility to navigate and move the own body in the VE. A factor analyses of survey data shows 3 different presence components: spatial presence, involvement, and judgement of realness. A path analysis shows that spatial presence is mostly determined by sources of meshed patterns of actions: interaction with the VE, understanding of dynamics, and perception of dramatic meaning.

Women and Girls Last: Females and the Internet

http://sosig.esrc.bris.ac.uk/iriss/papers/paper55.htm

The Internet has been dominated by males since its inception. Although use of the Internet by females has increased dramatically in the last few years, women and girls worldwide still use the Internet less and in different ways than males. Low Internet use by females not only gives them less access to information and services available online, but also can have negative economic and educational consequences. This paper discusses barriers to greater female use of the Internet: the Internet as new technology, the masculine Internet culture, and gendered communication styles online. Historically, females have been less likely to embrace new technology than females.

Virtual Urban Legends: Investigating the Ecology of the World Wide Web

http://sosig.esrc.bris.ac.uk/iriss/papers/paper37.htm

This paper traces the evolution of several ecological phenomena connected with the spread of replicating messages on the World Wide Web (web) and Internet (net). The paper begins by discussing some basic ecological and evolutionary concepts and then turns to analysing common features of replicating messages which have adapted them to survive in these particular 'ecologies'.

Virtual environments as spaces of symbolic construction and cultural identity: Latin American virtual communities

http://www.it.murdoch.edu.au/catac/catac98/pdf/15_nocera.pdf

The aim of this work is to understand the sociopsychological and cultural realities of virtual communities as live spaces of meeting and high interaction framed within the Latin American context. The study will consist of a comparative ethnographic study of several Latin communities, using the tools of participant observation and focused interviews.

Mason Bruce, 1999

The Digital Ethnographer

http://www.cybersociology.com/files/6_1_virtualethnographer.html

Hypermedia offers ethnographers a powerful new medium for authoring. Its potentialities suggest various levels of convergence with the concerns of critical theory and post-paradigm ethnography. Nevertheless, the project of authoring academic ethnographic hypertexts is fraught with difficulty, not least due to the difficulties of formulating a new rhetorics which can offer the same persuasive power as the conventional printed narrative. Hypertext opens up particular kinds of authoring innovations, such as the linking together of data, analysis and interpretation in the same medium, and the juxtapositioning of materials in written, visual and aural forms. A new multi-semiotic ethnography is becoming possible through digital technologies, which will have to develop new ways of ordering academic argumentation and analysis.

The Economies of Online Cooperation: Gifts and Public Goods in Cyberspace

http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/soc/faculty/kollock/papers/economies.htm

The Internet is filled with junk and jerks. It is commonplace for inhabitant of the Internet to complain bitterly about the lack of cooperation, decorum, and useful information. The signal-to-noise ratio, it is said, is bad and getting worse.

Transforming the Transformed: African Derived Religions in Cyberspace

http://www.goethe.de/br/sap/macumba/kremser_long.htm

From a cultural anthropologistsperspective, interested in the correlations and convergencies betweenreligion, consciousness, and cyberspace, something significant is happeningat the turn of the millenium: the transition of mankind into a newanthropological space ¯ commonly called "cyberspace"or "space of knowledge" ¯ accompanied by the transformation ofhuman culture, communication, and consciousness.


 

Turkle Sherry, 1999

What Are We Thinking About When We Are Thinking About Computers?

http://web.mit.edu/sturkle/www/routledge_reader.html

Computers offer themselves as models of mind and as "objects to think with." They do this in several ways. There is, first of all, the world of computational theories. Some artificial intelligence researchers explicitly endeavor to build machines that model the human mind. Proponents of artificial life use computational processes capable of replication and evolution to redraw the boundaries of what counts as "alive." And second, there is the world of computational objects themselves: everything from toys and games to simulation software and Internet connections

The cluetrain manifesto. The End of Business as Usual

http://cluetrain.com/book/95-theses.html

A powerful global conversation has begun. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter—and getting smarter faster than most companies.

From Smoke Cerimonies To Cyberspace: Globalized Indigenety, MultiI-Sited Research, and Internet.

http://www.centrelink.org/Internet.html

It is arguable that the "gloom and doom" phase, particularly in North American Anthropology, could not have come at a more inopportune time.  The motivation in making this observation stems from the transformation of the realities that ethnographers research into more complex subjects, requiring new methods, broadened analytical frames, and taking us into new fora of communication and cultural and interpersonal interaction.  Ethnography has become more challenging and promises richer insights than ever before as a result of phenomena such as community building in cyberspace and the transnationalization of putatively local, Indigenous communities and issues.  In this paper I examine these subjects through reflections on my twenty-one months of field research among the Caribs of Trinidad (still underway), by moving back and forth between the description of a reconstructed indigenous ritual, and the field methods that are used in gathering the data necessary for the description.  In this ritual I see a renegotiation of symbolic capital that spans local, national, regional and global levels.

Social Information Processing in MUDs: The Development of Friendships in Virtual Worlds

http://www.behavior.net/JOB/v1n1/utz.html

With the rapid growth of the Internet, new communication forms have emerged. This study examines how friendships are developed in a special kind of virtual world: multi-user-dungeons (MUDs). According to the Social Information Processing perspective (Walther, 1992) people learn to verbalize online that which is nonverbal offline, with increasing time. The use of verbal paralanguage should be an important factor in the development of impressions. Sociability, as a general trait, and skepticism towards computer-mediated communication (CMC), as a situation-specific attitude, could also influence this process. One hundred and three MUD users completed a questionnaire concerning their online friendships, MUD use, attitude about MUDding, use of paralanguage, sociability, and skepticism toward CMC. Seventy-seven percent of the MUDders reported relationships with others. Results supported the Social Information Processing perspective: Sociability had little influence, whereas skepticism towards CMC was an important predictor.
