The Net: New Apprentices & Old Masters

Official announcement of the launch of

"THE NET: NEW APPRENTICES & OLD MASTERS" / "INTERNET: NOUVEAUX HORIZONS, VIEILLES HÉGÉMONIES"

Guest Editor: Mark Pegrum

Part 1 / 1ère partie

Now in its fifth year of publication, the electronic journal "Mots Pluriels" has decided to take a moment to step back and reflect on the medium which has given it life: the Internet. Today we are launching the first part of a special double issue of the journal, which contains a series of essays on theories and practices of the Net around the world. A follow-up second issue, considering the Net as it intersects with various important discourses of our time, will be published in two months' time.

The contents page can be found at
http://www.arts.uwa.edu.au/MotsPluriels/MP1801index.html
For the next two months, until the launch of the second issue, it will also be accessible on the principal "Mots Pluriels" homepage at
http://www.arts.uwa.edu.au/MotsPluriels
Below is a list of the essays included, with a direct link to each piece:
