Virtual Culture

Virtual Culture marks a significant intervention in the current debate about access and control in cyber society exposing the ways in which the Internet and other computer-mediated communication technologies are being used by disadvantaged and marginal groups- such as gay men, women, fan communities and the homeless, for social and political change.

The contributors to this book apply a range of theoretical perspectives derived from communication studies, sociology and anthropology to demonstrate the theoretical and practical possibilities for cyber society as an identity-structured space.
