Abstract

As much the sexualizing of the cyberspace as the
evolutionist discourses on the virtual thing show certain
government devices of the emergent biotechnological
relations, such as virtual sex or the multiplicity of
identities in the Network. These devices and relations
can be normative and regulative, but they can also
become emancipatory forms of political and social
resistance. Throughout this chapter we cover some of
the paradoxes and possibilities that the social
construction of the virtual thing implies for
contemporary identity
