Exploring Borders
In Exploring Borders Giuseppe Mantovani highlights and explores the ways in which culture acts as a framework organising our experience. He emphasises the differences across and between cultures and examines the depths to which these can go. He also analyses the functions of culture, including: mediation, meaning-making, and forming a repertory of values and principles. Finally, he considers some of the challenges raised by taking a cultural pers…
Internet Haze
Social and psychological research on the Internet has been biased for a decade by the deterministic assumption that technology per secan have an ‘impact’ on individuals, groups and organizations. This presumption is challenged by a different perspective, which conceives of technology as a social production and relies on ‘ethnographic’ methodologies to investigate the specific ways in which social actors interact with technological tools. Adoption…
Imagination and Culture
New information technologies are constructing living and working environments that people often find disorienting. This can be seen as a general effect of the introduction of new artifacts that disrupt preexisting routines and destroy the previous distribution of work. Communities have to cope with unprecedented environments by developing imagination as a cultural resource, allowing them to make sense of the ambiguous situations created by new co…

Virtual Reality as a Communication Environment
This article addresses a matter of potentially great social significance-Virtual Reality (VR) as a communication environment-from the point of view of social psychology. While it is easily recognized that technological research is deeply involved in the ongoing development of VR systems, there is no equal agreement about behavioral sciences having good reasons for both interest and concern in VR as medium. This paper reviews current research on t…
Is Computer-Mediated Communication Intrinsically Apt to Enhance Democracy in Organizations
Recent studies on social and organizational processes involved in computer-mediated communication (CMC) are discussed. A technological deterministic approach, which views CMC as inherently apt to support democracy in organizations, is challenged. Claims about equal access, overcoming socialbarriers, openness and de-individuation, are critically examined with reference to up-to-date literature. Our point, consistent with sociotechnical theory, is …
