Non-Embodied Embodiment: Transgenderism, Identity and the Internet Weinberg Joe* *Correspondence to: Joe Weinberg, 3332 Colfax Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55413 USA. E-mail: jm.weinberg11@gmail.com
Online published on 12 September, 2016. Abstract Online, no one can tell that you're a dog. When in the third space of the internet, the body is left behind, allowing people to explore their own identities and to engage in identity tourism with different possible bodies. It is the representations we choose for ourselves online that allow this exploration, the icons and avatars we create that produce embodiment in online environments. Those groups that exist on the fringe of identity, or in a state where identities are in flux, such as: the transgendered community. By examining what embodiment these icons and avatars allow, we can better understand how identity works online. Top | |
