Título : Avatar (A): Contrasting Lacans Theory and 3D Virtual Worlds.A Case Study In Second Life
Palabras clave : Psicología;Avatar;the Other;multi-user Games;Lacan;Second Life;psychoanalysis
Editorial : Universidad del Norte
Descripción : Lacan did not propose a totalized subject, but he proposed a divided one whose representation is structured in each interaction with its peers through Saussures argumentative language. This shows the real, the imaginary or the symbolic as (a), (a) or (A). This study tries to propose and discuss that it is currently possible to establish virtual issues, taking into account social and psychological effects of the cyberspace and the capacity to decide and execute actions. Virtually, the representation is given by the Avatar known as (A), since it is an evolution of the Other (A). This interaction is being done through the use of language, with the construction of signifieds and signifiers. Signifieds are conceived in the virtual world and signifiers in the real one, but the last one could allow the first one to materialize the Other (A) in the Avatar (A). Second Life is a metaverse, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), which shows 3D virtual worlds where each subject is able to create its Avatars characterizing its own identity through the subjects desires.
