One more paper from hard-working Canan Hastik: Preventing Digital Subcultures from becoming Victims of the Technological Change, published at CERC’13. Added a researcher entry for her, too.

Stijn Peeters’ article The Beauty of the Byte has been published in NEWMEDIA_studies magazine issue 7. Updated the bibliography accordingly.
