[ecrea] New Media? - publication announcement

NEW MEDIA? RE-IMAGINING TECHNOLOGY, CULTURE AND THE SOCIAL explores the 
enduring fascination with the idea of novelty through a new media lens. 
The brand names in the discourse are familiar: Twitter, Facebook, 
Google, Digg, Tumblr, MySpace, to name a few. But these buzzwords reveal 
more than their commercial application. Critical analyses of these tools 
reveal ongoing dialogue and tensions between technology, culture and 
society. As these vectors – with ever-shifting contours, contested 
meanings and competing claims – overlap, they raise important questions 
about what can be claimed by ‘new media’ and why and how this term 
maintains currency and power within the social realm.
