Romantic and / or Sexual Digital Relations : Towards the Disappearance of the Body?
Key Words : body,ICTs,computer-aided relationship,cybersexuality,virtual,cyberspace
Abstract
Does the development of digital communication imply the disappearance of the body? After questioning the concept of “virtual”, this article is based on the analysis of romantic encounter in the Internet age, and of cybersexuality, to show how ICTs are changing the status of the body. Far from disappearing, the body is more than ever staged on the web. Allowing the extension of the body, ICTs are opening a new era for this latter.
