Essay / Analysis by Gloria Anzaldúa - 1620
From texts to forums, the amount of internet subcultures that have been created from like-minded individuals is staggering. If you feel like you're alone or have a weird interest, chances are there's already a website, forum group, and more information about it, then you probably need to know it. Given the widespread nature of culture, one must examine what culture is and whether this example is even relevant. A culture is defined by Google as follows: “The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement considered collectively:” The arts and manifestations that are achieved through a collective? This is exactly like public forums, websites, and other forms of communication on the Internet to achieve a goal or art. Where Gloria Anzaldúa's definition of culture refers more to a culture that is close to and directly impacted it, this anonymous, virtual collective of minds is a completely different example that is not defined by "Borderlands/ La Frontera: The New” by Gloria Anzaldúa.
