| Title | Masculinities Visualized: Chatroulette as a Homosocial Virtual Medium |
| Summary | This thesis is an analysis of a certain type of masculinity; masculinity performed on Chatroulette, a virtual medium connecting random people for web-cam based conversations. The users contribute to the website in various ways. This study focuses on the specific Chatroulette user who turns the chat session into a performance of masturbation. Accentuating on the neo-onanist as I coin it and Chatroulette as a contemporary homosocial medium, the thesis attempts to reveal the ways of representing and validating masculinities generated by the medium in question. |
