Many processes cooperate in the formation of a transnational condition. But the main symbolic basis for the emergence ofan imagined transnational community, or rather, of a virtual transnational community, is the global net of computers. Benedict Anderson can demonstrate, retrospectively, the importance of a “literary capitalism” for the création of an imagined community which whould evolve into a nation. I can now suggest that “electronic capitalism” is the necessary environment for the development of a transnation. Considering the internai characteristics of the virtual transnational community, I explore ideas such as cyberculture, virtual class and computer english as a creole of the global system in order to debate the implications of transnationality upon culture, language and power.
