Hi Pearse, anthropology seems finally to fix well in any field where symbols rituals and practices are visible, but especially invisible. Such in-visibility may come from hiding reality by virtuality and virtuality by reality. The fact is that the two always come at once. Asimmetry, boundaries are built not around the meanings of material reality and virtuality, but are the meanings themselves. A representation becomes such by being performed, by being enacted. Thanks for your contribution. i like very much the examples. On such multidimensional reality analysis you might like discourse practices and entanglements in social sciences. Joseph Rouse's Cultural Studies of scientific Knowledge and Karen Barad's Agential Realism helped expanding my critical means.
