Quelles relations peut-il y avoir entre un ensemble de « sites Web » reliés à la Bibliothèque nationale de France, des messages électroniques échangés par un groupe d’étudiants, un corpus de « textes Web » sur les OGM (organismes génétiquement modifiés) ou bien encore les pratiques de travail dans une bibliothèque en cours de réaménagement ? Ces différents « terrains d’analyse » ont en commun d’être des lieux privilégiés pour observer la circulation des formes écrites dans la société et la façon dont cette circulation participe de la médiation sociale des savoirs. Issu d’une série de questionnements sur les transformations contemporaines du rapport à l’écrit, le projet de ce livre se fonde sur un ensemble de recherches individuelles et collectives menées depuis plusieurs années autour de « l’écrit d’écran », des « écrits de réseaux » et de l’analyse des usages des nouvelles technologies liées aux institutions culturelles. Recherches mues par le même souci de cerner et de comprendre les interrelations tissées entre le technique, le sémiotique et les usages des médias informatisés.

Contributors to the book suggest an alternative discourse and value system to that of the market-led corporate global agenda, one that does not directly challenge corporate globalization but recognizes a parallel reality. Need and ingenuity are creating a culture that is clearly different from both North American pop culture and the high culture of the intellectual elites, and which can lead the world away from an "economics of death" to a more positive world. The New World Order does not, however, encourage naive optimism, as it recognizes that the lethal inversion of our value system, which is only beginning to be recognized, may not be acknowledged and counteracted in time to prevent disaster. Contributors include Meenakshi Bharat (University of New Delhi), James Bisset (former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia), Leigh S. Brownhill (OISE, University of Toronto), Keith Ellis (University of Toronto), María Figueredo (University of Toronto), Michael Mandel (Osgoode Hall Law School), John McMurtry (University of Guelph), J. Nef (University of Guelph), Jennifer Sumner (University of Guelph), Terisa E. Turner (University of Guelph), Edward Vargo (the Assumption University in Bangkok), and Gordana Yovanovich.
