万维网已经使用了20多年。从早期的浏览器到今天的主要信息、娱乐和其他来源，网络是我们日常生活中不可分割的一部分，以至于有些人认为“如果它不在网上，它就不存在”。虽然这种说法并不完全正确，但它正变得越来越准确，并反映了网络作为一个不可或缺的宝库的作用。因此，奇怪的是，历史学家和社会科学家迄今很少利用网络来调查文化和社会的历史模式，尽管他们很好地利用了信件、小说、报纸、广播和电视节目以及其他前数字时代的文物。这本书认为，现在是时候质疑我们迄今为止从网络中学到了什么。这12章从多个跨学科的角度探讨了这个话题——通过国家网络空间的历史和不同政府和媒体领域的案例研究——以及一个介绍，提供了这个令人兴奋的新研究领域的概述。
The World Wide Web has now been in use for more than 20 years. From early browsers to today’s principal source of information, entertainment and much else, the Web is an integral part of our daily lives, to the extent that some people believe ‘if it’s not online, it doesn’t exist.’ While this statement is not entirely true, it is becoming increasingly accurate, and reflects the Web’s role as an indispensable treasure trove. It is curious, therefore, that historians and social scientists have thus far made little use of the Web to investigate historical patterns of culture and society, despite making good use of letters, novels, newspapers, radio and television programs, and other pre-digital artifacts. This volume argues that now is the time to question what we have learnt from the Web so far. The 12 chapters explore this topic from a number of interdisciplinary angles – through histories of national web spaces and case studies of different government and media domains – as well as an introduction that provides an overview of this exciting new area of research.
