Prerequisites
Subject matter
1. The processes of human interaction are vastly complex but as soon as some persons come into contact they tend to mutually adapt their behaviour to one another.
This reciprocal interaction is the result of an interplay between different personalities, shared contexts and projected expectations. Narrative identities are intrinsically dependent on the processes of mutual recognition that take place in everyday interaction. We can find a link that is conceptual and empirical between narrative identity and recognition.
2. The starting point is the wager that narrative identity and recognition processes are intrinsically connected. If we can understand narrative identities as the hermeneutic construction of a life story which is told we can also detect the existence of cyberselves, constructed solely with the purpose of causing specific recognition attitudes. While these techniques of self-construction avatars, nicknames give birth to numerous possibilities of human interaction, a normative assessment of their consequences to social relationships and communication is lacking. What are the consequences of the increasing use of social networking?
