INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
CULTURAL ATTITUDES TOWARDS TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION (CATaC98)
1-3 August 1998, Science Museum, London

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) networks, such as the Internet
and the World Wide Web, offer tantalizing possibilities of global
communications. If such communications facilitate dialogues that both
cross and preserve irreducible cultural and political boundaries, they
may contribute immeasurably to greater global understanding and
democratization. But diverse cultural attitudes towards technology and
communication also issue in culturally distinctive ways of implementing
and using CMC technologies. Some of these culturally-grounded
differences in implementation and use frustrate, rather than
facilitate, hopes for greater global communication.
Our thematic question: how do diverse cultural attitudes shape the
implementation and use of CMC technologies?
The conference brings together presenters from throughout the world
who will provide diverse perspectives - both in terms of the specific
culture(s) they highlight in their presentations, and in terms of the
discipline(s) through which they approach the conference themes:
* The politics of the electronic global village
* Homogeneity, marginalization, and the preservation of local cultures
* Communication in industrialized cultures
* Communication in industrializing/capitalizing countries
* East/West cultural attitudes and communicative practices
