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

[Jeremy Crampton]

Has anybody done work on Foucault's idea of the "technologies of the self" in cyberspace? My own take on this (for a book) is that cyberspace forms subjectivities between the axes of authenticity--confession, ie that cyberspace is another confessional regime where we can attempt to recover our "true selves" outside the reach of power relations (a chimera according to Foucault).

Would be interested to hear from anybody on this. Thanks!
