dc.descriptionWe pursue an ethnographic approach which includes social life in the form of work practice around technologies such as the Internet, which will uncover the interaction between on-line and off-line worlds (cf. Miller and Slater 2000). Arguing against Manuel Castells’s (1996: 358–75) division of the real and the virtual as separate units and a ‘culture of real virtuality’, Miller and Slater (2000: 6–8) point out that the two are integrated. Virtuality is ‘not a new reality’ but ‘part of everyday life’, they say (see also Pfaffenberger 1992). So virtuality is social, and should be thought of in terms of social virtuality, we suggest, and anchored – more or less and in new ways – in places. Even ‘practices and relationships that only exist online’ are connected to everyday life, according to Miller and Slater (2000: 7), which does not make the exploration of how the particular format of the Internet, for example, influences its content less urgent, especially when it comes to work practices of occupational virtual communities.-
