Identity: Negotiating the Self
Marcelo Vieta of Technology, Self & Community Blogged about a paper in his panel at the AoIR by Janne Bromseth entitled "Betrayed: When truth becomes fiction, nothing is for real"
Veita writes "What was interesting about Bromseth's piece was the resistance amongst some of the members towards admitting new transgendered members: Does knowing the discourse of the female gender make one automatically a female? If, as Haraway states, the female body is the site of oppression and the cyborg offers liberation from that political mine field, what was occuring on Bromseth's group to make the lesbian members resist transgendred members? "
