[Air-l] New Theoretical Approaches to the Self in Cyber-Culture

[jeremy hunsinger]

I'm not sure what parts of the threads you might be referring to here, 
but i find the 'self' to be very restraining in terms of the internet.  
I've met over my years on irc at least 3 combinatorial representattions 
in which many people came together to establish an identity for a 
certain being.  for me, this is where the interest might be, less in the 
individualistic self and more into the networked self.  iow, this is one 
of the places on the net where you could discuss such things, and 
discussion of said things are encouraged:)
