[Air-L] Online Research Methods Texts

[Nishant Shah]

Dear Alecea,
I have just completed writing my Ph.D. dissertation which touches upon
these topics and I would be glad to suggest some works from my
bibliography. a lot of the works that Koen has suggested are seminal
and were very helpful to me in my reading and teaching. However, I
will add a few which are not included in that list:

Baym, N. "The Emergence of Community in Computer Mediated
Communication." In Cybersociety: Computer Mediated Communication and
Community, edited by Steven G. Jones. New York: Sage, 1994.
Burrows, Mike Featherstone and Roger, ed. Cyberspace, Cyberbodies,
Cyberpunk: Cultures of Technological Embodiment. London: Sage, 1995.
Clark, Andy. Natural Born Cyborgs. London: Oxford University Press, 2003.
Dibbell, Julian. "A Rape in Cyberspace, or How an Evil Clown, a Haitan
Trickster Spirit, Two Wizards, and a Cast of Dozens Turned a Database
into a Society." The village voice (1994).
Doheny-Farina, Stephen. "Representation(S) and a Sense of Self: The
Subtle Abstractions of Moo Talk." Computer-Mediated Communication
Magazine 2 (5), no. 15 (1995).
Dumit, R. Davis-Floyd and J., ed. Cyborg Babies: From Techno Sex to
Techno Tots. London: Routledge, 1999.
Rheingold, Howard. Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution. New York:
Perseus, 2000
Turkle, Sherry. Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the
Internet. London: Weidenfield and Nicolson, 1996.
Warwick, Stephen. I, Cyborg. London: University of Reading press., 2000.

I hope this list helps. i apologise that it is not all in the same
standardised format but I am drawing from multiple bibliographies
which demanded different citation styles! I would be interested in
getting a copy of the consolidated list, if you can share it.

regards
Nishant
