Abstract

The papers collected in this special issue on Communication, Culture and Praxis are drawn largely from presentations made at the International Conference on Cultural Attitudes towards Technology and Communication (CATaC’02), co-chaired by Charles Ess and Fay Sudweeks. The conference, held in Montréal , Canada , 12-15 July 2002, was the third international conference in the CATaC biennial series. This conference series aims to provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of both theory and praxis on how diverse cultural attitudes shape our appropriation and use of information and communication technologies. Presenters and participants attending the CATaC’02 represented 20 countries
