Digital Environments - Taylor & Francis Ltd

With The Title Serving As An Umbrella Term To Distinguish Simulated Places From Real Places, Digital Environments Signifies A Shift In How We Think About Interactions With Places And Spaces, Both Real And Simulated. The Very Idea Of Digital Environments, Though, Complicates Such Distinctions, Asking Simultaneously (and Perhaps Reductively) As To How Agents Engage Networks, And If There Can Be Such Distinctions Between Virtual And Real Place, Between Agents And Networks. For Ecocritics, The Term Brings Together Two Concepts That Are Frequently Cast As Oppositional: Digital Standing In For Technologytechnological And Environments Often Used To Represent Naturewilderness.
