In their search for an alternative politics, a number of cultural theorists have turned towards computers and digitized communication. A new utopianism (digitopia) is forming around the potential of networked computers to enhance human communication and culture. In particular, theorists influenced by poststructural and postmodernist ideas have argued that computer mediated communication will transform subjectivity, community and democratic politics. The limits of these theories can be measured against alternative notions of transculturalism and the politics of doom.
