Sociology 230: Internet and Society

Note Changes to Tuesday's Readings Below!!!!!!

Our last week of class! (How did that happen?)

For Tuesday, I'd like you to read:

• Kotamraju, "Art Versus Code"
• Peterson & Ryan, "The Disembodied Muse"

Both are in Society Online.
Edit: I decided to axe the Kotamraju article... after a second glance at it, it's not going to be useful for the discussion I want to have.

For your final response paper, please do some web searching and find an example of artistic production that has been made possible by the Internet. In your response, please reflect on how that art form wouldn't have been possible without the 'net.

For Thursday, you should read:

• Bainbridge, "The Future of the Internet"
• Jones, "Conclusion"

Again, both of these are in the textbook.
