 She argued that the emergence of a global media space – a virtual geography – made out of increasingly pervasive lines of communication – vectors – was emerging as a more chaotic space than globalisation theory usually maintains.Much of Wark's early engagement in public debate occurred in the Australian post-marxist quarterly "Arena", through a number of articles and exchanges about the character of real abstraction, the meta-ideological character of post-structuralism, and the consequences of these issues for emancipatory social theory.In two subsequent books, "The Virtual Republic", published in 1997, and "Celebrities, Culture and Cyberspace" (1999), Wark turned her attention to the national cultural space of her homeland, Australia.
