A cyberian in the multiverse: towards a feminist subject position for cyberspace

Theory generally regards cyberspace from the embodied position, looking from the outside into an imaginary universe. 'Cyberia' is a term that may be employed to describe a state of the imaginary in which this gaze is reversed to theorise cyberspace from within its architectural and communal spaces to assess its potential to change the embodied world. This paper argues that the multiversal figurations inherent in 'Cyberian' subjectivity can help formulate a different understanding of oppression by rooting its metaphors within the context of technologies of the World Wide Web. It also considers weblogging technologies as an aid to bringing a more diversified offline subjectivity into the online public sphere
