Virtual vs. Everyday Environment: Freedom, Constraint and Identity Formation

The article investigates constructed life-spaces, pertaining both to the material reality (‘ actuality’ ) and to the technologically invoked, physically unrestricted plane of communication (‘ virtual reality’ ), thus questioning the very notion of reality and the sustaining concepts of spatiality and temporality. The focus is on the impacts of the deriving notions (‘ reality’ vs. 'hyperreality ; ‘ real’ vs. ‘ virtual’ spaces and beings, ‘ interactivity’ vs. ‘ interpassivity’ etc.) and on the processes of identity formation.
