"Monsters in Metal Cocoons" - Deborah Lupton

There are various routes you might take to access this article. Here is one:


Scroll down to where it says "Find journals by title" and then choose "Search Journals A-Z directory."

Find the journal "Body and Society" (either by putting it in as a search term or searching alphabetically). Follow the link to the journal (from SAGE Sociology). Put in your Union ID# and password to get to the journal itself (logging in sometimes takes a little while).

Once you get to the actual journal, you can scroll down to the search box at the bottom of the page and put in a search term that will find you the article (eg. "metal cocoons") or you can go to the "Advanced Search" tab and put in more specific info about the article:

"Monsters in Metal Cocoons: 'Road Rage' and Cyborg Bodies"
Deborah Lupton
Volume 5, No. 1 (1999), pp. 57-72

When  you find it (you may need to scroll through a list of possibilities, depending on what you searched for), choose "Full-text PDF."  There should be some way to save the file if you want to (sometimes by right-clicking on it).  Or you can just download it and either read it on the screen or print it out.

Let me know if you encounter any obstacles...

For future searching on other topics, you might want to explore some of the databases of articles and experiment with plugging in specific search topics, to get a sense of what's out there.  It's a brave new digital world for scholarly journals these days!
