Reviews:

"Online Territories" shows subtly and with great theoretical skill how
human relationships and activities online are integrated into a great
variety of social spaces, shaping them but surely also being shaped by
them. It takes us much beyond airy utopian claims, and away from
customary Eurocentrisms. I hope this book will be widely read across
many disciplines in the human sciences, as these make themselves at
home in the twenty-first century.

-- Ulf Hannerz, Author of "Transnational Connections and Anthropology?s World"

This anthology explores the meaning of territorial place in a
lifeworld that increasingly intertwines the online with the offline.
Grounded in both classical and contemporary theoretical perspectives,
this book provides a rich panorama of explorations illustrated with
empirical studies, helping us understand some of the societal
dimensions of new media. Highly recommended for both the enquiring
student and reflective scholar.
