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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthor 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLauren Rosewarne\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is a senior lecturer at the University of Melbourne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 9.4 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 25, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45892912120005,"sku":"9781440834400","price":144.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/cw_cxUnjN39781440834400.webp?v=1771918919","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/cyberbullies-cyberactivists-cyberpredators-film-tv-and-internet-stereotypes-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
