Bonnie Stewart, Techknowledge: Literate Practice and Digital Worlds.
An exploration of knowledge, technology, and truth as cultural practices. Analyzing the ways knowing, being, and doing are constructed and re-constructed through cultural discourse, the thesis considers how the technologies of a given era shape the concepts of knowledge dominant in that era, and draws on postmodern and constructivist theories to ask "what will it mean to know in the 21st century; in the digital age?"
