Sociality of bloggers: the psychopathology of everyday life 
Deepen the reasoning that I have tried to outline in my previous post
and that seems to have asked around a few comments (like those of
Roberta )
The debate, which is necessary and serious, the reality of the blog can not ignore the distinction between function and form of the blog on the one hand, and Atropos-social nature of the other bloggers.
The context is obviously more ampio. Mi limito però qui a dire: dobbiamo pensare che per un verso abbiamo a che fare con un fenomeno sociale che “fa” società e che per l’altro verso abbiamo a che fare con gli individui e con il contesto comunicativo e di socializzazione mutato dalla presenza di ambienti mediali. Ci sono dunque implicazioni di portata sistemico-mediale dovute alla proliferazione di mezzi di massa a portata individuale e collettiva. E poi ci sono gli individui.
Si tratta di solitari solipsisti impermeabilizzati nelle relazioni grazie alle forme a distanza?
Oppure di tecnoconnettivisti ad alta densità di relazioni sociali che pluralizzano le identità nei diversi ambienti reali/artificiali sperimentando la complessità del vivere oggi (la vulgate SecondLife style "Parioli" docet:
read piece on Ammanniti XL)?
What interests me are the paths of interpretation that take into account the dynamics of a suspect linked to desocialisation mediated relational practices.
The nearly 120 million inhabitants of those platforms like MySpace and social networking mostly young people, show the cultural change that pervades the net today. It is also in contact with others via mediated through forms of distance and cultural practices that are built around participatory activities technologically mediated discourse. Less talk and more at the bar grid, less emotional upsets-body on the benches Messenger gardens and more, things like that.
Bifo, always attentive to the psychopathology of everyday second life, thinks so:
Other than social network, in reality it is a practice that clears the socialization, or rather (I believe) it is a practice that responds to the need of de-socialization. The contact, the presence, proximity becomes less and less viable for the generation that has learned more words from a car by her mother, for children who have not attended children, and have grown attached to a mediator of social relations.
the "means of mass communication for the masses" become the means of reproduction mass of the masses. The practice of mediation of social prelude to a society based on physical separation and emotional mediation of machines. The emphasis, then, is the effect of de-socialization.
desocialisation. Or, rather, over-socialization? - That is to say, de-socialization for excessive sociability: direct and indirect, of the first and second life.
But we should not forget - even after Foucault - Baudrillard?
The theoretical analysis is similar to that which characterizes the analytical procedure of the French sociologist. His hyper-reality was the idea of \u200b\u200bhyper-realization of the world and the consequent depletion of sense of reality and killing excess. Remember
Perfect Murder?
If there is no real death by subtraction, but an excess of reality, that excess is produced by means of new technologies and media (the murder weapon, no fingerprints, of course). The media make a "transfiguration of the technical world," the cover to deliver it, they turn on "automatic disappearance of the code." We are facing:
only to the expansion of the real dead body - a universe made of proliferation, which not only have no end iperrealizzarsi
would be perfect, therefore, as a tactic in the overall direction of drainage for the systemic effect of excess body , quello prodotto “dal basso”: dal proliferare di micro informazioni spesso insignificanti, utili più per se che per gli altri, devianti e deflagranti, miscela di ironia e stupidità; semplice caricamento di immagini con gatti e cani da condividere; produzione di lettere alfabetiche per Messenger da esibire agli amici in sequenze grafiche di puro senso estetico; eccesso di accessi in SecondLife di curiosi “avatar per un giorno” utili a gonfiare statistiche che portano imprese diverse dentro un mondo con utenti sempre unicamente possibili ma poco attualizzati …
Ipersocializzazione come pratica virale che nel proliferarsi di comunicazioni prodotte, riprodotte, diffuse, copiate e incollate, podcastate, ecc. leads to the implosion of meaning.
All Media said no operations but only through pure media use by users of both sides of the pair production / consumption: the average being, in fact.
Daily practice that becomes policy. The communities of practice that produces fade.
But so are things?
There is the question of bodies, and know how to relate to life and are combined in the media environment.
Television and virtual media
constantly mobilizing the nervous system by subtracting space for socializing, for emotional exchange, for the embodiment. Language and emotions are split in a pathogenic.
On the side of the body, where the effect of cumulation of the practices of the team is just background noise, the affective dimension and, ultimately, experience is built around a language that is increasingly unmoored from the lived body - so they say. In the media - land, environment, worlds - the substance of which "material" is communication, we learn to interact and build emotional experiences from conversations, the interactions between avatars, etc.. What body shape is this? How desocializzante? It is because it is mediated embodiment involved? But then: there is an experience that is not body in some way? An experience that is not covered, then, in the sensory processuality? The whole dimension of the relationship between media and eroticism bringing this should teach something. Then it
desocializzante because if you chat with others do not feel the smells, the texture does not live? Yet the younger generation
signals the need to problematize the social time of mediation exists.
C. 12 years old, comes home from school and eat quickly because with his companions is the appointment in Messenger. Maybe with a webcam. It makes them experience of relations that lives in the first life in another way. It is worth pondering.
