On the blog Feminist Law Professors I found a reference to one of the most interesting books I read lately: “The Body and the Screen: Theories of Internet Spectatorship” by Michele White. White goes further then just ‘simply’ analyze the content of websites but she engages in a very thorough analysis of how websites render and regulate their visitors by means of visual, textual and technical means. It is a must read for everyone who tries to understand a little bit about how people reconstitute themselves (and are disciplined into that in a particular way) online and therefore also to understand the transformative aspects of new media.
