“Representing Bodies in Virtual Space: The Rhetoric of Avatar Design” by Beth E. Kolko and “’Writing the Body’: The Hypertext of Photography” by Kalli Paakspuu both make very interesting points about the portrayal of the body in these various disciplines.

In “Representing Bodies in Virtual Space: The Rhetoric of Avatar Design” and “Writing the Body” they both talk about the body in a physical way that is outside of the body itself. It talks about the body though images that are meant to represent the body. One, the avatar, is an image that quite often has been made to represent the body without actually using the physical body to do so. A photograph is made to represent the body by capturing just a moment of the physical body. Both are quite often used to represent a person online. The way that people can represent themselves online can be in any way they want. It doesn’t have to be the way that they are in their everyday lives. They can use these images to become someone else if they really want to. The internet is basically a way for people to escape.

I'm glad folks are reading my article and thinking about the imagery they themselves create. Thanks so much for your comments.
