Academic Conference on Online Subjectivity

This Friday and Saturday, the University of California, Irvine, will host a conference with a rather academic sounding title, "Digital Culture: Epistemologies/Subjectivities." Appropriately, the speakers are highbrow experts in the field, including Katherine Hayles and Lev Manovich. What they'll discuss is sure to be interesting--how people construct their online identities and dialogues in an impromptu and perhaps inaccurate manner. The panelists will ponder if it is possible to mediate our new systems of truth and subjectivity.
