Approaching Online Textual Embodiment

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

What does it mean to be embodied online? What are the conditions of cybersubjectivity? In , Jenny Sundén explores the rarely acknowledged borderland between typists and textual bodies, speaking and writing, and physicality and imagination in online encounters.
