We're our secret selves, we're more than ourselves, we meet ourselves (or at least our alts) coming and going...in virtual worlds like Second Life, that's just the beginning. As the saying goes, It's Complicated. But then, so are we.
Join ethnologist Tom Bukowski, author of Coming of Age in Second Life for a conversation about the faceted nature of the self, and what virtual worlds have to teach us about what we've always been.
This event is sponsored by the Alexandrian Free Library, and produced by Radio Riel. If you can't join us in world, tune in at http://music2.radioriel.org
This event serves as an introduction to our new discussion series about the sense of self as it evolved in 19th century literature - particularly in poetry and fiction. Dame Kghia Gherardi will lead a discussion of a different work each month, through March 2009.
Discussions are 6-7 pm SLT. Location to be announced
