Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies
The following notice appeared in Networking NODE 3:12 (August 4 1999)
Founded in 1996, the Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies (RCCS) is a not-for-profit organization whose aims are "to research, study, teach, support, and create diverse and dynamic elements of cyberculture" and "to establish and support ongoing conversations about the emerging field, to foster a community of students, scholars, teachers, explorers, and builders of cyberculture, and to showcase various models, works-in-progress, and on-line projects." RCCS has been in our links collection almost since its inception, and it is well worth some renewed attention.RCCS founder and director, University of Maryland doctoral candidate and Evan Solomon lookalike David Silver has created a sleek, stylish site that serves as a hub for seekers and students of cyberculture, which Silver defines as "a collection of cultures and cultural products that exist on and/or are made possible by the Internet, along with the stories told about these cultures and cultural products."
Visitors will find a catalogue of university courses in cyberculture at institutions around the world; a listing of upcoming events; links to online interviews with such luminaries as Noam Chomsky, Umberto Eco, Nicholas Negroponte, Howard Rheingold, and Sherry Turkle; a monthly book review column; an eruditely annotated bibliography of books, articles and other writings; and a posting board for introducing one's self and one's cyberculture studies with a view to creating community, fostering collaborations and furthering discussions.
