Thesis (Ph.D.)--Bowling Green State University, 2010.

This dissertation highlights the intersections of age, gender, and technology at a time when the U.S. is expecting an increasingly aging labor force in the face of rapidly changing computer technologies. In autoethnographic style, I explore how subjectivities attached to age and gender are produced and negotiated at the interface of online/offline spaces. More specifically, I consider how situated (il)literacies materialize as bodies are positioned in a culture that perpetuates the appropriation of labor roles and identity performances based on age and gender. Drawing from a variety of performance theories and constitutive theories of identity, I examine how particular literacies and nuanced identities influence and are influenced by narratives that reflect everyday practices and politics. Recording and analyzing my own personal performances in the immersive online environments of LinguaMOO and Second Life, I underscore how transitioning from a 'traditional' home space to a computer dependent work/school space, matters for 'real' bodies in a 'virtual' age.
