Abstract
Cyberspace has called the epistemic attention of anthropologists in the middle of the 1990’s. This paper aims to characterize and discuss the trajectory put in action by it from this moment onward, focusing on Sherry Turkle work. Our article begins with some indications about the way the cyberculture studies were structured. Following, we stress the methodological bias by which the field was approached by anthropology. Finally, we offer a critical reflection about the merits and limitations of all this stage of research. Besides the pioneer article of Arturo Escobar and the focus on Sherry Turkle trajectory, we make some remarks about the contributions originated from David Haken and Christine Hine. Key words: cyberculture, virtual ethnography, Sherry Turkle.
