Dear AIR-ers -
Okay, I have refined my question. I think I am looking for literature that defines how reception theory differs when reception is mediated through a virtual audience. I have read a bit of Manovich, L. (200x). "Post media aesthetics: Medium in crisis [online]." Also quite a bit of Michael Heim, virtual realism. To me, he was talking about the differences in social identity when we present ourselves online (also Turkle). I am looking for the reception side of this equation rather than the presentation side and I don't know the CMC comm. theory too well. I have read _Secondary Orality_ and I don't think Ong is the answer, either. Thanks for any pointers in this direction!
