My life in Second Life has two facets, a recreational one and the other, academic, but both are related, so the people who approach only when I have fun are also able to help me understand how the avatars live on this virtual platform. My goal is to study the body and identity in the virtual world, to understand who the people behind the avatars are and their multiple identities in Second Life, but also realize if the decoupling of real and virtual body is done consciously or the real bodies themselves mix with those of their avatars. Thus, my fieldwork carried out almost daily, talking, observing, questioning, and living.
