Page 15 - Culture Technology Communication

xiv Acknowledgments

this volume: in the face of threats to cultural identity through a ho-
mogenizing globalization—how may we preserve distinctive cultural
identities while also participating in a global mode of communication?
We invite readers to explore more about cultural attitudes towards
technology and communication by reading CATaC and related articles
now collected in three journal special issues: Sudweeks, F. and C. Ess,
eds., Electronic Journal of Communication/La Revue Electronique de
Communication, 8 (3 & 4: 1998) (see <http://www.cios.org/www/ejc-
main.htm>), Ess, C. and F. Sudweeks, eds., AI and Society, 13 (1999),
and Sudweeks, F. and C. Ess, eds., Javnost-the Public, “Global Cul-
tures: Communities, Communication and Transformation,” 6 (1999).
Readers are also invited to join the discussion group (catac@hhobel.
phl.univie.ac.at), and to follow additional CATaC conferences, begin-
ning with the second one held in 2000 at Murdoch University, Perth,
Australia (<http://www.it.murdoch.edu.au/~sudweeks/catac00> or
<http://www.drury.edu/faculty/ess/catac00>).
