The idea of textuality being connected to representation and thus gender, class, etc. helps us understand more about what's at stake in thinking about the place of the body in relation to electronic realm, specifically through the idea that the body as a mapped surface inscribed by particular constructs can't escape or become dis-imbricated from language, textuality.
Is recognition of this self as text as representation part of what's at stake in moving from "edges" to "surfaces"? I'm wondering if the metaphor of edges refers only to a sort of frontier mentality, or if there are other layers in this term that I'm not getting (from Moulthrop).
