Subject: "Online Lives": A _Biography_ Special Issue
Call for Articles: A _Biography_ Special Issue
Online Lives
The Winter 2003 issue of _Biography_ will feature critical essays on how
auto/biography and other forms of life writing are engaging the Internet,
hypertext, digital multimedia, and the immersive interactive environments of
MOOs, virtual worlds, and role-playing games. Guest editor John Zuern seeks
contributions that address topics such as personal home pages, online
diaries and web logs, web-based genealogical research and family histories,
the stability and/or flux of identity in virtual communities, and the
creative use of webcams and other surveillance and tracking technologies for
self-representation. Interdisciplinary and multicultural approaches, as well
as explorations of the theoretical, methodological, and ethical challenges
of studying online lives are particularly encouraged.

10,000 words. A double-blind submission policy will be followed; the
authors name should not appear anywhere on the manuscript, but an
