description | This text is originated from an ethnography that aimed to analyze how a group of women deals with the experience of working in the virtual strip-tease market and how they sense the body in interactions with the customers via the Internet. From the notions of incorporation, of gender performance and simulacrum, I seek to reflect on how they build themselves as web strippers from their body, which requires the consecutive modification of it, to always be appropriate to the “commodity situation’’. In this meaning, they seek to meet the aesthetic standards seen as suitable to their occupation and add innovations to the strip-tease market, which refer mainly in taking new body provisions, different practices and incorporating new characters. Furthermore, the erotic scenes built by the web strippers from the inventive use of body constitute female performance that temporarily demand the dismissal of themselves and the composition of another woman (or other women) to the shows. Overall I try to show the lines, the experiences, the interrelations and the daily work life of these women in order to acknowledge and comprehend their role in the sex market, and the way that each one of them, in their own values, see and give meaning to reality. |

Este texto se origina en una etnografía que tuvo como objetivo analizar cómo un grupo de mujeres articula la experiencia de trabajar en el mercado del striptease virtual y cómo perciben y experimentan el cuerpo en las interacciones con los clientes a través de internet. A partir de los conceptos de incorporación, performance, género y simulacro, trato de reflejar cómo ellas se construyen como web strippers a partir de su cuerpo, lo que requiere su modificación consecutiva para estar siempre adecuándolo a la "situación de mercancía". En este sentido, ellas buscan satisfacer los estándares estéticos vistos como apropiados para su ocupación e implementar innovaciones para el mercado del striptease, que se refieren principalmente a adoptar nuevas disposiciones corporales, diferentes prácticas y la incorporación de nuevos personajes. Más allá de ello, las escenas eróticas construidas por las web strippers, por el uso inventivo del cuerpo, se dan a partir de la constitución de femeninos performáticos, lo que exige temporalmente el “despido” de sí mismas y la composición de una otra mujer (u otras mujeres) para los espectáculos. Busco oportunizar las líneas, las experiencias, las interrelaciones, el trabajo diario de esas mujeres con el fin de conocer y entender su contexto operativo en el comercio sexual, y las formas como cada una, en sus valores, percibe y da sentido a la realidad.
