UC New Media Research Directory
Announcement: Directory of UC New Media Researchers and Programs
December 17th, 2006 under Home Page

The area of “new media studies” has recently emerged at the intersection of humanities, arts, social science, and computer science research into digital, networked technologies and their cultural implications. Research fields in this area include humanities computing, digital and network art, electronic literature, critical internet studies, computer-mediated communication, information technology and society, digital textual scholarship, text encoding, human computer interaction (HCI), networking protocols, data mining, data visualization, GIS, game studies, and others. New media studies also has a reverse time-arrow dimension: “media archaeology,” or the study of earlier media (oral, manuscript, print, early industrial) from a postindustrial media perspective.

The UC New Media Directory provides a guide to new media researchers and programs in the University of California system, which has invested strategically in this area. (This site is currently under construction. It is managed by the Transliteracies Project, a UC Multi-campus Research Group.)

Thanks for visiting the UC New Media directory, which is under construction and still recruiting listings from University of California faculty, graduate students, and research staff on an opt-in basis. (See Request for Listing.)

Questions that correlate the nature of authorship with the materiality of writing machines are not new to either literary criticism or to New Media scholarship. However, the environment of Web 2.0, (c. 2003-present) must, by its very nature, develop and expand these questions. If the "death of the author" led to "the birth of the reader" (in an environment where information was primarily linear and controlled by publishing companies), and the electronically-based "hypertext author" raised new possibilities for multi-linear writing (beyond print-based works such as Joyce's Ulysses), what then are the implications of environments constructed entirely by web-based, social networking applications? As never before, we can now turn to Foucault and ask, "What matter who's speaking?
