Turning an anthropological eye toward cyberspace, Human No
More explores how conditions of the online world shape
identity, place, culture, and death within virtual
communities.
Online worlds have recently thrown into question the traditional
anthropological conception of place-based ethnography. They break
definitions, blur distinctions, and force us to rethink the notion
of the "subject." Human No More asks how digital cultures
can be integrated and how the ethnography of both the "unhuman" and
the "digital" could lead to possible reconfiguring the notion of
the "human."
This provocative and groundbreaking work challenges fundamental
assumptions about the entire field of anthropology.
Cross-disciplinary research from well-respected contributors makes
this volume vital to the understanding of contemporary human
interaction. It will be of interest not only to anthropologists but
also to students and scholars of media, communication, popular
culture, identity, and technology.
