Abstract

In this essay I argue against the suggestion that cyberspace is afloatwith “disembodied subjectivities”, and for the idea that we humansconfigure the Internet according to our bodily existence. The situat-edness, orientedness and rhythm of our perceptions and actionscarry over from the real to the virtual world, making them oneexperiential world. We do not, then, leave the body behind when weenter cyberspace. This topological perspective may not only explainwhy we find the Windows interface pleasant and easy to use. It alsoilluminates how bodily experience orders the world in terms of thebasic directions front–back, right–left, up–down and over–under,and how it structures practical everyday life. Classical Bildung nur-tured the expressivist idea of an independent mind in its free self-creation. Topology, on the other hand, wants us to think in terms ofbody-minds, and suggests that even a Cyberbildung begins as aneducation of the flesh.
