Abstract

In the context of digital identity, the construction process is related to an objectifying transformation of the self. This implies the development of a self-objectifying perception, and simultaneously an objectifying vision of the digital others. This article offers a brief reflection on digital projection of individual and collective identities, overviewing the different theoretical interpretations that have studied this concept. Furthermore, the implication of feminine objectification will be explored.
