I want a third pill.
Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 33
Abstract
“To be, or not to be, this is the question”, this famous sentence from Shakespeare’s Hamlet is very actual nowadays in the context of Internet, but maybe much important question is: how we are exist in Internet? First of all I would like to surpass the ideas about duality of physical and digital reality in the context of human identity. By the psychoanalytical tools I would like to show my fieldwork experience on the ground of human sexuality in Second Life. It will allow me to see human practice in Internet from different angle. From my perspective man be came cyborg, which exist as a computer virus. I will show his agency using wide perspective of theoretical tools from Computer Science to Marxist theory. It will help me to explain our hyperactivity in Internet, and why it became so important in our lives.
