=== '''Annotated Bibliography''' ===
''STEP TWO: VERY SHORT bibliography NO MORE THAN THREE KEY TEXTS. Write a very brief (two sentence) outline of the key texts in your bibliography and discuss how they will relate to your thesis). This will be the start of an annotated bibliography.''

===== ( 1 ). Smith, N., Wickes, R. and Underwood, M. (2013) ‘Managing a marginalised identity in pro-anorexia and fat acceptance cybercommunities’, ''Journal of Sociology'', 51(4), pp. 950–967. doi:10.1177/1440783313486220. =====
- This study examines how members of pro-anorexia and fat acceptance online communities manage socially marginalised offline identities online. It found that these communities provide an anonymised space for identity work, emotional support and self-acceptance. Both the mode of addressing "deviant" identities with care and respect and the theme of the study are important for my thesis. I want to dig deeper in a different way in what these communities give marginalised people and focus on the platforms themselves.

===== ( 2 ) Campbell, H. (2005) ‘Considering spiritual dimensions within computer-mediated communication studies’, ''New Media &amp;amp; Society'', 7(1), pp. 110–134. doi:10.1177/1461444805049147. =====
- This study proposes a new framework of the internet as a sacramental space for spiritual pursuits, a place that can be experienced as sacred dimension. My thesis builds on this idea to conceptualise a Sacramental Web where healing is possible through transcendence of the physical body, imagining oneself as part of a bigger whole and finding support in a dis-embodied community.

===== ( 3 ) Fisher, J. (2017) ''Healing the fragmented selves of trauma survivors: Overcoming internal self-alienation''. New York, New York: Routledge. =====
- This is a book about the neurobiology and psychology of fragmentation as a consequence of trauma. It describes a path to healing and becoming whole through acknowledgement and compassion for all our parts. In my thesis I explore how online presence can aid this process.

* ways of being by James Bridle
** Life did not take over the world by combat but by networking
** Endosymbiosis is a framework, the absorption of one by another
** one little community of organism scaling up to the human body
** no life in isolation
** Life is soupy, mixed up
