New York, Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt/M., Oxford, Wien. What does it mean to be embodied online? What are the conditions of cybersubjectivity? In Material Virtualities, Jenny Sunden 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, Sunden 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.

« A savvy, theoretically sophisticated exploration of how gender is created and negotiated in the textual environment of an online multiple object oriented interface (MOO). Based on two years of field work, this book gives a 'thick description' of the textual practices that create bodies while still being attentive to the physical activities, especially typing, that underlie these practices. The best study of online gender that I have read so far, 'Material Virtualities' is a must-read for anyone interested in this fascinating and controversial area of contemporary culture.
