ABSTRACT
This chapter brings up the case of a woman cyberspy for the United States to explore how military masculinities are shifting within the information and network society. Identities online, including military masculinities, are inhabitable. Catching the enemy in cyberwar can involve ‘becoming’ the enemy. Yet alongside this dynamic, the work of this cyberspy involves a proliferation and hybridization of identities. Military masculinities, when adopted by women cyberspies in particular, are pluralized, layered, and juxtaposed with feminine personas. This analysis shows how those multiplex personas – across their varying gendered markers – coalesce at different moments in support of the War on Terror, and at other moments against it.
