-------------------------------------------------- Official announcement of the launch of

"THE NET: NEW APPRENTICES & OLD MASTERS" /
"INTERNET: NOUVEAUX HORIZONS, VIEILLES HÉGÉMONIES"

Guest Editor: Mark Pegrum

Part 2 / 2ème partie

Today we are launching the second volume of the "Mots Pluriels" special double issue on the Internet. Following on from the previous volume, a collection of essays on theories and practices of the Net around the world, this second volume considers the Net as it intersects with various important discourses of our time. In the current charged international climate, as we consider the role the Net has played in recent events, the role it continues to play around the world, and the ways in which it is linked to wider issues, these studies which give voice to discourses of Otherness are more timely than ever.

The contents page can be found at http://www.arts.uwa.edu.au/MotsPluriels/MP1901index.html. For the next two months, it will also be accessible on the principal "Mots Pluriels" homepage at http://www.arts.uwa.edu.au/MotsPluriels/. Below is a list of the essays included, with a direct link to each piece:
