This exciting and engaging book explores the ways in which people, organizations, and companies are using the Internet to project their interests and concerns into the world. Beginning with an introduction to cyberculture studies and ways to studying the Web, Web.Studies moves on to consider everyday web life, Web art and culture, Web business, and global Web politics and protest. Topics covered range from fan Web sites, web identities, and Web design trends, to global capitalism and Web allure, cybercrime and the politics of hacking and propaganda warfare via the Web. Throughout the book are suggestions for ways in which students can use the Web to further their own research. While there has been an explosion of books on the Internet, this is the first to offer students and general readers a comprehensive and coherent introduction to the new Web-based media culture.
