Re: [Air-l] Re: New Theoretical Approaches to the Self in Cyber-Culture
Has anybody done work on Foucault's idea of the "technologies of the self" in cyberspace? My own take on this (for a book) is that cyberspace forms subjectivities between the axes of authenticity--confession, ie that cyberspace is another confessional regime where we can attempt to recover our "true selves" outside the reach of power relations (a chimera according to Foucault). Would be interested to hear from anybody on this. Thanks! __ Jeremy Crampton 404 651-1763 http://monarch.gsu.edu/jcrampton/
A colleague of mine, Kieron Corrigan, might be interested. http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0103&L=group-analysis&D=0&P=4 501 http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0103&L=group-analysis&P=R4365 Ben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Crampton" <jcrampton@gsu.edu> To: <air-l@aoir.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 6:15 PM Subject: Re: [Air-l] Re: New Theoretical Approaches to the Self in Cyber-Culture Has anybody done work on Foucault's idea of the "technologies of the self" in cyberspace?

sorry - that sounded obscure - it's just that Kieron was explaining to me the basic ideas of Foucault's technologies of the self a few months back on another discussion list, as per the URL's. I know he's interested in thinking about groups in cyberspace. So it might be worth dropping him a line for some dialogue. I've also encouraged him to join this llist.
