VIRTUAL SPACE: A SHIFT FROM THE SOMATIC TO THE SEMANTIC LEVEL OF DEFINITION OF THE ESSENCE

Abstract

Virtual space significantly changes the usual notions of possibility and reality. It is logical that the constants of the physical world are to some extent imitated in virtual reality, because under other conditions it is difficult to imagine the effective orientation of human in such an environment. It is more appropriate to consider virtual space by analogy with the content of perceptual experience, which is the accidental context of a pure noematic act of consciousness. Individual localities that spontaneously form certain wholes and communities are easily transformed into other configurations of interaction, forming a nomadic surface of intersubjectivity. This intersubjectivity is an indicative product of the globalization of the real society, as in cyberspace ethnic, cultural, personal determinations are leveled in favor of the gamified space of unlimited expression of will, sublimation of the unconscious and realization of affects. The avatecture of virtual space in a way utilizes the pragmatics of speech procedures.
