Sommario/riassunto |
|
A comprehensive overview of the field, Internet Studies considers key issues of social importance that the study of the Internet draws upon. At the same time, it examines the role of the Internet in social research and the development of highly interdisciplinary and rapidly developing Internet research. Hence, this volume maps out areas of certainty and uncertainty in the study of the Internet and, as such, it will be of interest to scholars and students of media and communication, sociology and social research methods. |
