I just got back to Germany after a pleasant and informative stay in Jakarta. One of my first visits here was to see Prof. Maren Hartmann who has agreed to supervise my paper.

Maren Hartmann now teaches communication sciences at my uni (University of the Arts, Berlin) with a focus on sociology of communication and new media.

She has published several books and articles on the subject of new media and cyberculture, among these:

• Hartmann, Maren (2004): Technologies and utopias: the cyberflâneur and the experience of being online. München: Reinhard Fischer Verlag.
• Hartmann, Maren (2001): ‘The netizen: an impossible concept?’ In: Inter/Sections: the journal of global communications and culture. Vol. 1, Nr. 1, S.9-24
• Hartmann, Maren (2003): Situationist Roaming Online. Digital Arts and Culture (DAC) Conference Proceedings. Melbourne.
• Mobile Communication in Everyday Life. Ethnographic Views, Observations and Reflections

She has studied and lectured at several universities in the UK and has fortunately also agreed to let me write my paper in English!
