On June 28-30 2007, the Institute of Network Cultures, Media Studies (University of Amsterdam) Director: Geert Lovink and the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) will organize the New Network Theory conference.

The object of study has shifted from the virtual community and the space of flows to the smart mob. When the object of study changes, so may the distinctions that dominate, particularly the schism between place-based space and place-less space, both organized and given life by networks. We would like to exploit the potential of writing contemporary network theory that suits and reflects the changes to the objects of study that come to define our understandings of network culture ? a post-Castellsian network theory, if you will, that takes technical media seriously.
