<P>I'm currently doing my final thesis on dating on the internet focusing on the discursive strategies of men and women. I am therefore very interested in your work within this field - especially that which is placed within a gender-specific context. Could you please list the publications that you think might be of interest to me?</P>
<P>Thank you / Cecilie <BR></P><BR><BR><BR>

<P> </P></DIV>----Original Message Follows---- From: "Michele White" <MWHITE@WELLESLEY.EDU>Reply-To: air-l@aoir.org To: air-l@aoir.org Subject: [Air-l] Late adolescents and dating on the Internet Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2003 13:36:52 -0500 Hello, My article, "On the Internet, Everybody Worries that You're a Dog: The Gender Expectations and Beauty Ideals of Online Personals and Text-Based Chat" presents a general consideration of Internet dating sites that is targeted at the undergraduate reader. I do a close analysis, indicate how Yahoo's dating/personals site and other Internet settings encourage traditional conceptions of the body, and introduce feminist methods that can be used to analyze these problems. I have more recent research on the issue of Internet representations but this article may be of interest to you because it specifically addresses Internet dating sites. The anthology was just released and the full citation is: White, Michele. "On the Internet, Everybody Worries that You're a Dog: The Gender Expectations and Beauty Ideals of Online Personals and Text-Based Chat." Readings in Gender Communication, eds. Mary Rose Williams and Phil Backlund, Wadsworth, 2003. All my best, Michele air-l@aoir.org writes: >Hi - >A colleague of mine is searching for any literature focusing on Internet >dating among late adolescents (approximately ages 18-25).
