The Anarchy of Desire
Cybersex: Outercourse and the Enselfment of the Body
The increased popularity of the Internet invites the possibility of repackaging familiar activities in a new medium. Sex is one such activity-an age-old topic with a new cybertwist. The new technologies of computer-mediated communication allow us to examine the nature of human interaction in a uniquely disembodied environment that potentially transforms the nature of self, body, and situation.

Governmental programs proposing rental supplements for low-income families assume that social and economic conditions of these families may be improved by such subsidy. However, this assumption has not been adequately tested by social science research. Data presented here were gathered at an urban renewal relocation housing project in Lubbock, Texas, and suggest that when families who, before urban renewal, were self-sufficient in slum housing ar…
