Description
Summary:Spain is becoming the source of a number of scholarly engagements between culture and technology that run the gamut from analytic philosophy to postmodernist activism.

The present essay uses both geography and methodology to describe this emerging body of work, while acknowledging the simplifications and overlaps inherent in any survey.
