What are the conditions of cybersubjectivity? In \u003ci\u003eMaterial Virtualities\u003c\/i\u003e, Jenny Sundén explores the rarely acknowledged borderland between typists and textual bodies, speaking and writing, and physicality and imagination in online encounters. Through careful ethnographic investigations of a text-based virtual world called WaterMOO, Sundén shows how texts, bodies, and machines are linked together in ways that demand a new understanding of the writing subject. Drawing on contemporary feminist and queer theory, she questions the opposition between disembodied, high-tech masculinity and embodied, earth-bound femininity, insisting on the need for a radical materialization of cybercultural studies that discloses the  virtual  as itself embodied.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Jones,Jenny Sundén\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820462047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820462042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Steve Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447792906495,"sku":"9780820462042","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cad4bb1f-1e05-4e9d-8774-b51b23a188c1.jpg?v=1777234852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/material-virtualities-steve-jones-9780820462042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
