This collection draws together contemporary research into queer
theory and practices, as they intersect with new media and
communication technologies. It provides a synthesis of critical
debates in these fields followed by empirical analyses of current
and historical internet activities. These include, among others, a
study of changing leathersex identities as meeting spaces moved
from bars to online chat rooms, an investigation of the dynamics of
racial identity as social sites moved from text-based to
visually-based media and the tensions between community and
audience identities inherent in commercial affinity portals. The
chapters investigate the relations between the technical, legal and
industrial organization of online media and the queer practices
that they facilitate. While scholarly and theoretically rigorous,
its rich empirical detail makes Queer Online vital reading for
activists and members of queer communities, in the academy and
beyond.
