[Discussion] Postcolonialism and Digital Culture

[Gonul]

Call for Papers: Special Issue on
Postcolonialism and Digital Culture

Postcolonial studies is heavily affected by processes of globalisation. 
Among these trends is the spread of networked computing and digital 
culture, from email and websites, from Usenet to massively multiple 
online games and digital art, from net news journals to blogs. Digital 
culture also affects the world labour market as workers around the globe 
are recruited into high technology jobs as diverse as assembly line 
production of computers, 'homeworked' programming of software and call 
centers where workers are taught the rudiments of foreign (mostly 
American) cultures to enable telephone support for products and 
services. New media, in short, are now global.

This special issue inquires into the consequences of such phenomena for 
the postcolonial condition.
