520 "Teletechnologies, or technologies of distance, cannot be
ignored. Indeed, the present electronic age is said to
have wrought profound changes to how we think about and
experience who we are, where we are, and how we relate
with one another. Place and community have traditionally
formed key concepts for thinking about these issues, but
what relevance do these concepts now hold for us? In this
wide-ranging study, Wilken re-evaluates how ideas of place
and community intersect with and help us make sense of a
world transformed by information and communication
technologies. This interdisciplinary investigation ranges
across diverse textual and contextual terrain, exploring
approaches from media and communications, architectural
history and theory, philosophy, sociology, geography,
literature, and urban design. The rich analysis of these
myriad texts reveals the complex and at times
contradictory ways in which notions of place and community
circulate in relation to these technologies of distance.
Wilken examination underscores both the enduring
importance of ideas of place and community in the present
age, and the urgent need to continue to engage with, think
about and reconfigure these twin ideas"--|cProvided by
