Customer Reviews
A good place to start any observation of cyberspace. - Rated Is Cyberspace a real place, and if so, what kind of people inhabit it? Virtual Ethnography is a broadly anthropological study, centred on a single event: the 1997 US trial of British nanny, Louise Woodward. Hine focuses on the role of the Internet, concentrating particularly on web sites and newsgroups that were created and used in the frenzy of media interest that accompanied the trial. Hine spends considerable time explaining standard practices of ethnographic research for a wider readership, which may be necessary, but is a little dull if the reader's interest is not specifically anthropological. However, the chapters on space and time, identity and authenticity set up some intriguing discussions about prevailing attitudes among Internet users and how the Net functions both as a cultural tool and as a micro-culture in itself. Hine does not pretend to have any grand answers to questions about reality v. virtuality, but set against other current debates, she has some interesting points to make. Not earth-shattering, but sufficiently thought-provoking.
