Abstract :
Avatars act as enthralling channels for venturing into alternative realities and characters, surpassing our everyday limits while preserving a link to our authentic core. By delving into these personas, we start to ponder the essence of being and the fluid nature of identity itself. Avatars not only expand our sense of self but also provoke us to address its adaptability. Consequently, we engage in an intricate interplay between self and other, obscuring the boundaries that separate them.
In my dissertation, I carried out several case studies to comprehend avatars and obtain a deeper understanding of individual identity. These investigations introduced diverse theories, leading me to doubt the very existence of identity. This posthuman inquiry explores the notion of identity within and extending beyond the digital sphere. |
