Re: [Air-L] Work on "the digital closet"
Hi Evelina, Have you read Mary Gray's *Out in the Country*? Her work on digital youth and queer culture in rural areas of the U.S.A. is really fantastic (and I think influenced by Sedgwick.)

I?m working on a paper about SNS in rural areas of Sweden and I use the term digital closet (transferring Sedgwick Kosowskys closet-metaphore into a digital arena), and I was just wondering if there are any major (or minor) works in later years that have used this term?

Evelina, I’ll second Mary Gray’s book — fantastic! You might also look into David Phillips’s 2002 essay “Negotiating the Digital Closet” (and probably his other work). Some of the contributors to his and O’Riordan’s collection _Queer Online_ use the phrase as well. Gorkemli has used the phrase in terms of lesbian and gay activism online in Turkey. Jonathan Alexander and Elizabeth Losh’s chapter "A YouTube of One’s Own?’: ‘Coming Out’ Videos as Rhetorical Action” in the collection _LGBT Identity and New Online Media_ might also be useful.
