Ron Burnett, Critical Approaches to Cultural Studies.
Burnett's course at McGill University devotes a healthy portion to gender issues in postmodernity. The social process that emerges from considerations of race, class, and gender thus is registered. Some bibliographic references to gender studies in Burnett's course are worth seeing.
Michael Heim, The Nerd and the Noosphere.
Enthusiasts for the electronic environment acclaim the virtues of the "virtual community" that it engenders. Heim contrasts these virtues with the accompanying vices of virtuality; and he throws the old fashioned face-to-face community into relief by examining the virtual community. In doing so, he illustrates the postmodern commandment VI--to affirm that, having had a natural birth, we become what we become through the grinding processes of human society. The technological revolution allows us to participate in a new kind of social process, distant from those with whom we are knitting social meaning.
