[Nettime-bold] call for papers--the language of new media

["Jillana Enteen" <jillana@rcnchicago.com>]

The Language of New Media.
(apologies for cross posting)

(A panel proposed for the American Studies Association annual convention,
Houston, TX, November 14-17, 2002)

The language associated with new media and connected cultural and economic
forces derives almost exclusively from English (the "World Wide Web" is a
most obvious example). This panel seeks to explore the cultural contexts
surrounding the global dissemination of the language of new media. What
associations are implicit in the terms concerning information
technologies? How does the terminology circumscribe the use of new media
technologies? What are the cultural, political, social and economic
ramifications of
the spread of this language within and beyond U.S. borders?

Please send  500-word abstracts and brief c.v. by January 12, 2002 to
