Description
In The Internet Imaginaire, sociologist Patrice Flichy examines the collective vision that shaped the emergence of the Internet--the social imagination that envisioned a technological utopia in the birth of a new technology. By examining in detail the discourses surrounding the development of the Internet in the United States in the 1990s (and considering them an integral part of that development), Flichy shows how an entire society began a new technological era. The metaphorical "information superhighway" became a technical utopia that informed a technological program. The Internet imaginaire, Flichy argues, led software designers, businesses, politicians, and individuals to adopt this one technology instead of another.
Flichy draws on writings by experts--paying particular attention to the gurus of Wired magazine, but also citing articles in Time, Newsweek, and Business Week--from 1991 to 1995. He describes two main domains of the technical imaginaire: the utopias (and ideologies) associated with the development of technical devices and the depictions of an imaginary digital society. He analyzes the founding myths of cyberculture--the representations of technical systems expressing the dreams and experiments of designers and promoters that developed around information highways, the Internet, Bulletin Board systems, and virtual reality. And he offers a treatise on "the virtual society imaginaire," discussing visionaries from Teilhard de Chardin to William Gibson, the body and the virtual, cyberdemocracy and the end of politics, and the new economy of the immaterial.
Patrice Flichy is Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Marne de la Valleé, France.

描述
在《虛擬網路》中,社會學家帕特里斯·弗利希(Patrice Flichy)探討了塑造網際網路出現的集體願景——這種社會想像力預見了一種技術烏托邦,伴隨著新技術的誕生。通過詳細檢視1990年代美國網際網路發展周圍的話語(並將其視為該發展的不可或缺的一部分),弗利希展示了一整個社會如何開始了一個新的技術時代。隱喻性的「資訊高速公路」成為了一個技術烏托邦,為技術計畫提供了指導。弗利希主張,網際網路的想像力使得軟體設計師、企業、政治家和個人選擇了這一項技術而非其他技術。
弗利希引用了專家的著作——特別關注《Wired》雜誌的專家,同時也引用了《Time》、《Newsweek》和《Business Week》中的文章——這些文章的時間範圍從1991年到1995年。他描述了技術想像力的兩個主要領域:與技術設備發展相關的烏托邦(和意識形態)以及對虛構數位社會的描繪。他分析了網路文化的創始神話——技術系統的表現,表達了設計師和推廣者圍繞資訊高速公路、網際網路、公告欄系統和虛擬現實的夢想和實驗。他還提供了一篇關於「虛擬社會想像力」的論文,討論了從泰雅爾·德·夏爾丹(Teilhard de Chardin)到威廉·吉布森(William Gibson)的願景、身體與虛擬、網路民主與政治的終結,以及無形的新經濟。
帕特里斯·弗利希是法國馬恩河谷大學社會學系的教授。
