Zonians in Cyberspace: The Imagining of Individual, Community and Nation on the “Panama-L” Listserve.
This paper traces the ways the diasporic (albeit relatively privileged) identities of Zonians are positioned as part of a larger Panamanian national discourse on the Panama-L listserve.

In the movement from theory about identity and nation within the frame of social action to the articulation of such in cyberspace, I hope to find the connections and disjunctures between the “account” of identity as it occurs in discourse and the accounting for as a product of theorizing about identity in the larger frame of (the end of) nationalism and the democracies of cyberspaces Reprinted by permission of the publisher. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
