Annotation

This paper argues that a reformulation of the virtual self as the Beyond-self can be used on the beyond-modernist cyber stage to ease social interaction among members and to affect how members present their (real, constructed, staged and/or masked) virtual self via the application of theatrical metaphors to the Other.
