>
>Utopian Visions and their Technicalities: Social Change and the Internet
>
>As a mode of social organization, the Internet has been integral to the
>development of oppositional discourses and knowledge practices that
>often cast themselves as utopian, egalitarian, "other-worldly",
>idealistic and anti-establishment. Whether subversive, overt,
>revolutionary or incremental, collectives of all sorts have adopted and
>transformed online technologies in efforts to advance their agendas and
>frame ways of knowing.
>
>The net has proven to be a particularly conducive tool for groups with
>organizational structures that parallel, or benefit from, its dispersed
>and non-hierarchical roots. Through ethnographic case studies, this
>panel will explore the co-adaptive relationship between network
>technology and the diverse range of groups whose use of it privileges
>utopian values and social change.
>
>Please send abstracts by March 19th to either of the panel's co-organizers.
>All relevant submissions welcome.
