Dr. Mark Nunes is an Associate Professor of English and Media Studies. He is also Chair for the Department of English, Technical Communication, and Media Arts. He came to Southern Polytechnic State University in July, 2006. He earned his interdisciplinary Ph.D. in the Culture, History, and Theory program of Emory University’s Institute of the Liberal Arts. He also holds a Master’s Degree in English from the University of Virginia, and a Master’s Degree in Psychology (Visual Cognition) from Columbia University.  His ongoing research focuses on the cultural impact of new media on contemporary society. He is a member of the Modern Language Association and the Popular Culture Association, of which he is Chair of the Communication and Digital Culture Area.

Dr. Nunes is author of Cyberspaces of Everyday Life (Minnesota, 2006), which explores how the Internet restructures our everyday experience of the public and the private, and the local and the global. He has written a number of articles in the field of new media studies, including “Distributed Terror and the Ordering of Networked Social Space,” M/C Journal 7.6 (January 2005), “Ephemeral Cities: Postmodern Urbanism and the Production of Online Space,” in Virtual Globalization (Routledge, 2001), and “Baudrillard in Cyberspace: Internet, Virtuality, and Postmodernity,” Style 29 (1995). He is currently at work on a project examining how the concepts of “noise” and “error” structure modes of cultural resistance in a network society.

Dr. Nunes’s research also explores the intersection of cybernetics, literary studies, and media studies. He has given a number of international presentations and written several articles on hypertext theory and application as it relates to literary theory and production, with a particular emphasis on the work of James Joyce. He is a member of the editorial advisory board for the online journal, Hypermedia Joyce Studies, and he is a former Networked Associate Fellow with the University of Virginia’s Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities.
