Description

Although traditionalists have argued that computer-mediated communication and cyberspace are incongruent with the study of folklore, Blank sees the digital world as fully capable of generating, transmitting, performing, and archiving vernacular culture. Here, he documents the emergent cultural scenes and expressive folkloric communications that are being made possible by digital 'new media' technologies.
