Hi there,

is anybody interessted in the anthropology of the cyberbody, i.e. how
our cultural concepts concerning the body are reproduced or (maybe)
dissolved in cyberspace ?! What functions do body-representations have
and what is their main content? I'm particular interessted in how our
common notions of the body will be reshaped in the context and through
the possibilites of cyberspace.

Maybe someone's got helpfull ideas, hints or comments ? I would be
happy to get in contact with people who are "working out" the
cyberbody in order to share some ideas. Also I would most welcome
stories which deal with strange body experiences in and through the
net.

thanks 

		ciao

			joerg
