SHRINK-WRAPPED NEW: CYBERBULLIES, CYBERACTIVISTS, CYBERPREDATORS HARDCOVER 2016 Cyberbullies, Cyberactivists, Cyberpredators: Film, TV, and Internet Stereotypes by Lauren Rosewarne (Author) IOK-134E3-HC-1440834407-2-LB DESCRIPTION The Internet has enabled an exponentially larger number of people―individuals who are members of numerous and vastly different subgroups―to be exposed to one other. As a result, instead of the simple "jocks versus geeks" paradigm of previous eras, our society now has more detailed stereotypes of the undesirable, the under-the-radar, and the ostracized: cyberpervs, neckbeards, goths, tech nerds, and anyone with a non-heterosexual identity. Each chapter of this book explores a different stereotype of the Internet user, with key themes―such as gender, technophobia, and sexuality―explored with regard to that specific characterization of online users. Author Lauren Rosewarne, PhD, supplies a highly interdisciplinary perspective that draws on research and theories from a range of fields―psychology, sociology, and communications studies as well as feminist theory, film theory, political science, and philosophy―to analyze what these stereotypes mean in the context of broader social and cultural issues. From cyberbullies to chronically masturbating porn addicts to desperate online-daters, readers will see the paradox in popular culture's message: that while Internet use is universal, actual Internet users are somehow subpar―less desirable, less cool, less friendly―than everybody else. Review "Lauren Rosewarne's book provides a deep perspective on how society has come to perceive, and represent, the many faces of people who have made their lives around the Internet and the technologies that drive it. Society's relationship with technology, the Internet and its inhabitants is complicated and portrayed as something to be feared. Rosewarne takes the reader through a detailed and insightful view of six common cyber-stereotypes and provides a thoroughly referenced analysis of how they are portrayed in film, TV, the news and the Internet itself. Through this, Rosewarne examines the roots of this largely negative portrayal to an explanation of why the Internet and the people commonly associated with it, should be (mis)represented in this way. This is a fascinating book that anyone who is interested in how technology shapes society should read. This is especially true of the journalists, TV, and film writers and producers largely responsible for these views. Rosewarne's book is a fascinating and highly readable analysis that is thoroughly researched and referenced."
