The East, the West and the Rest: Central and Eastern Europe between Techno-Orientalism and the New Electronic Frontier

The East, the West and the Rest: Central and Eastern Europe between Techno-Orientalism and the New Electronic Frontier. Marchart, O. Convergence, 4(2):56–75, June, 1998.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

The article seeks to explore Central Europe's role and location within the imaginary cartography of techno-colonialist discourses on electronic networks. Ideologists of the European Union and of 'Mitteleuropa' (not to mention Eastern Europe) did not yet fully succeed in establishing a genuinely European high-tech identity. 'Networked Europe', as a fantasmatic technological space, rather seems to be caught between what has been called Techno-Orientalism on the one hand and the American New Frontier myth on the other. The article tries to map out the European imaginary in its differential relation towards both the 'Oriental' and the American myth of electronic space.
