Internet might offer a virtuality which resists our attempts to totalize it as a world, presenting instead loci for playing with the assumptions that we have taken for granted in modernity: community, information, liberation, self. Rather than working toward (re)producing a model community, cyberspace could just as easily keep us moving beyond our ends. In the virtuality of Internet, our words are our bodies, an aporetic copula which forces a reexamination of “the body” as both physiological (noumenal) entity and phenomenological experience. In each instance, Internet provides the medium for disrupting models, rather than confirming them. [Style 29 (1995): 314-327]
