:: Pondering mediated agency::

Mark Poster (2001. p.76):

"So exigent is the practice of self-constitution in communications in cyberspace, so strongly is agency here mediated by information machines, and utterly dispersed is the space of interaction that oppositional practices of earlier decades no longer seem able to take hold of the situation. To insist upon agency politics in this context is to bury one' face in the sand of the bygone age of Man."
