I believe virtual rape was also mentioned in Sherry Turkle's, "Life on the Screen". I may be confusing it with another text though...been a while since I read it. Cheers.

Kathy, I wrote a short paper recently on the concept of virtual harm, using virtual rape as the case study. Here are some of the most relevant sources I used: Herring, Susan C. (2002) Cyber Violence: Recognizing and Resisting Abuse in Online Environments. Asian Women, vol. 14 (Summer) pp. 187-212 Huff, Chuck, Johnson, Deborah G., and Miller, Keith (2003). 'Virtual Harms and Real Responsibility: A Rape in Cyberspace," [WWW Resource] accessed from http://www.njcc.com/~techsoc/huff.html Mackinnon, Richard, (1997) "Virtual Rape," Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, [Online] vol 2. no. 4. March, 1997 accessed from http://www.ascusc.org/jcmc/vol2/issue4/mackinnon.html And two readings from N. Katherine Hayles that aren't exclusively about virtual rape, but do speak compellingly about the virtual body: Hayles, N. Katherine. (1996) "Boundary Disputes: Homeostasis, Reflexivity and the Foundations of Cybernetics," in Robert Markley (ed.) Virtual Realities and Their Discontents. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, pp. 11-37. Hayles, N. Katherine. (1999) "The Condition of Virtuality," in Peter Lunenfeld, (ed.) The Digital Dialectic: New Essays on New Media, Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, pp 68-94. I hope this is helpful.

AoIRers, Who writes about virtual rape and sexual harassment other than Julian Dibbell (or people arguing online about the mr bungle case who get their facts from dibbell)? Thanks, Kathy Mancuso University of South Carolina Department of Anthropology -- "Sometimes, I get so sick of fighting. I have to slay the dragons of the myth of heterosexual European [able-bodied] male society in my dreams, then get up in the morning and be an activist . . . What if there really was a level playing field? I would love to see how far I could actually go. What if all I had to show off was my mad skills? Wouldn't I really be able to fly then?" --Margaret Cho Websites for my projects: Anthropologists and labor unions allied: http://AAAUnite.blogspot.com Orphan Films (22-26 March 2006, CFP): http://www.sc.edu/filmsymposium Social software/blogging research (ask for CFP): http://del.icio.us/museumfreak SC Student Anth Conf (CFP): http://www.cas.sc.edu/Anth/events/scconference.htm USC does Britten's War Requiem: April 19, 7:30, Koger Center _______________________________________________ The Air-l-aoir.org@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
