Meeting Description: 

Web as Culture: Ethnography, Linguistics and Didactics
The World Wide Web is a cultural space in which new forms of social networking, 
of creating, acquiring and teaching knowledge and competencies, and of 
constructing personal and cultural identities have emerged. The International 
Symposium "Web as Culture" addresses issues that are involved in the processes 
of the construction and the perpetuation of social structures, cultural 
narratives, memories, knowledge and language in the World Wide Web. Particular 
emphasis is placed on sociocultural processes of transformation such as the 
change of social networks, the change of teaching and learning cultures and 
language change instigated by the World Wide Web. These sociocultural processes 
of transformation will be discussed from various disciplinary perspectives and 
at all relevant levels of analysis in three parallel sections 'Networks, 
Ethnography, and the Web", 'Learning, Teaching, and the Web" and 'Language, 
Linguistics, and the Web".
