具體描述
In recent years there has been a large and diverse body of writing from scholars in the social sciences who have been studying changes brought about by new communication technologies in general and the Internet in particular. The question of how people behave, interact and organize themselves in relation to this form of communication has been given added prominence by developments within new social theory, especially in relation to the novelty of contemporary social formations and the importance of mass communications to this changed order. For the student new to the study of technology and society, there are a bewildering array of claims and counter claims, representing a spectrum of theoretical, methodological and critical sensibilities in relation to the Internet.In this new book Allison Cavanagh evaluates the work in this area by: investigating the novelty of the Internet and setting the Internet in the context of communication histories; and, evaluating the extent and rate of change through a synthesis of the available empirical literature. Providing a key to understanding the changes identified through an evaluation of the utility of new social theory, "Sociology in the Age of the Internet" is essential reading for academics and students with an interest in the relationship between the internet and society.

Network theory和Internet是什麼關係？我還是更傾嚮於Deleuze和Latour的看法，social (social anything) 是被有實際動作的各個actor一起組成並維持的，不是本來就存在的，我們每一個人都可以是也必須是actor的一部分，對Internet也是一樣，它並沒有本質改變我們的社會，因為社會是一個比我們平時認知中更flexible更變幻莫測的存在，要認知某一個social sth 唯一的方法就是一頭紮進去，尋找真正起作用的因素然後去羅列去理解去分析。本書裏對於Internet的各個視角的認知更多是羅列作用，也沒有什麼很特彆很有趣的討論。
