W.C. Williams and the Internat. Communication and Connectedness in an Age of Fragmentation. December 20, 1997.
Communication necessarily implies interfaces.
With the advent and multiplication of various mediated forms of communication, it has become increasingly important to understand how interfaces shape all aspects of human communication. Many theorists have argued that the contemporary period is marked by the fragmentation and redefinition of identities and national boundaries. This graduate student conference will consider this question as it affects any level and context of communication, whether between individuals, social groups, or cultures. Diverse methodologies and theoretical approaches are encouraged. All submissions will be subjected to a peer-review process.
