Hi Friends, At the last AoIR Conference, I spoke with some of you about my forthcoming dissertation/book, Camgirls: Gender, Micro-celebrity and Ethics on the World Wide Web. The project is a feminist ethnography of women who use webcams and journals for self-expression/ promotion online. While researching, I also ran a live webcam from my home. A few days ago, I put the finalized version of my first three chapters online for my subjects' final okays. I've provided links below for anyone on AoIR interested in reading. Introduction: The ethical challenge of difference in the age of the global brand http://www.echonyc.com/~janedoe/diss/intro1.htm Chapter One: I'd rather be a camgirl, than a cyborg http://www.echonyc.com/~janedoe/diss/ch1B.htm Chapter Two: Real live camgirls: from telepresence to tele-ethicality http://www.echonyc.com/~janedoe/diss/ch1B.htm Please feel free to look thus stuff over or avoid it entirely. More importantly, I hope you give a shout if I should know about your work in this (or a related) area!
