Produktbeschreibung
This Handbook is a detailed introduction to the numerous academic perspectives that apply to the study of the internet as a political, social and communicative phenomenon. Covering both practical and theoretical angles, established researchers from around the world discuss everything: the foundations of internet research appear alongside chapters on understanding and analyzing current examples of online activities and artifacts. The material covers all continents and explores in depth subjects such as networked gaming, economics and the law. The sheer scope and breadth of topics examined in this volume, which ranges from on-line communities to e-science via digital aesthetics, are evidence that in today's world, internet research is a vibrant and mature field in which practitioners have long since stopped considering the internet as either an utopian or dystopian "new" space, but instead approach it as a medium that has become an integral part of our everyday culture and a natural mode of communication.¿ This Second International Handbook of Internet Research is an updated version of the first International Handbook of Internet Research that came out in 2010. Since then, the field has changed, and this new version retains a number of the key updated chapters from the first handbook, as well as completely new chapters.

He is an award-winning educator, a Fellow of the Australian Learning and Teaching Council, and has more than 20 years' experience and expertise in teaching students via the Internet.

He is also a leading researcher of social consequences and meanings of the Internet, most recently publishing highly-cited work on the history of the Internet, focused on the origins, impact, and end of the so-called "web 2.0" period of Internet development. He is also a former President of the Association of Internet Researchers and helped internationalize the Association in its early years. His current research projects include consideration of the profound importance of the "Chinese Internet," especially as it becomes a site of global political contestation; the recent history of the lived experience of broadband deployment in Australia; and the philosophical and cultural complexities of regulation of Internet content, conduct, and consequences.
