Cyberculture, cultural formation, iPhoneAbstract
The concept of cyberculture has conquered unquestionable legitimacy within the field of human sciences, where it comprises the backdrop for relevant issues regarding subjects as different as anthropology, philosophy or literary theory. However, its chronicle lack of definition and broadness sugest a likeness to media studies as a form of knowledge characterized by interdisciplinarity and an ongoing reevaluation of its frontiers. The goal of this work is to propose the definition of cyberculture as a discursive or cultural formation (Cf. Matrix, 2006; Foster, 2005), with coherent epistemological structures and approachable via a unifying perspective.Downloads
