Abstract

The paper deals with new media studies and focuses on critical debate about novelty sublime. The fascination by novelty and rhetoric of profound social change caused by emerging internet and new media significantly shaped new media studies in their early period. However, on the beginning of 21st century new media studies became quite critical to these hyped (utopian and dystopian) discourses and the debate about reasons and nature of these early “extreme” framing of social change became one of the key elements of academic normalization of new media studies.
