Internationalizing Internet Studies Beyond Anglophone Paradigms

This book will offer a mapping of the Internet as it has developed and is used internationally, providing a lively and challenging examination of the Internet and Internet studies. There is much interest among scholars and researchers in understanding the Internet, to understand the place of the Internet in cultural, social, national, and regional settings and so redressing the bulk of work available so far that focuses on the Anglophone Internet, and its history, use and consumption in North American, as well as its use in major European countries. This is the first such book-length account that not only provides a range of perspectives on the international Internet but also explores the implications of such new knowledge and accounts for concepts, methods, and themes in Internet studies. Of special interest will be the book's fresh and up-to-date coverage of the Internet in perhaps the most dynamic region at present, the Asia-Pacific.Goggin, Gerard is the author of 'Internationalizing Internet Studies Beyond Anglophone Paradigms', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415956253 and ISBN 0415956250.
