Abstract (2. Language):
For most theorists, the role virtuality plays is so extended that it disables us from distinguishing between -perception and representation, original and copy. In virtual space, objects do not appear as self-contained entities, accessible via sensory perception, but rather emerge as irreducibly represented and reproduced. It is the peculiar effect of mediatized technology to fabricate events as "simulacra" The purpose of this paper is to indicate that the representationalist understanding of virtuality depends on the "rationalist" notion of space whose origins are to be found in Descartes. On the other hand, we see the non-representationalist alternative as a critique of the rationalist notion of space aimed at the phenomenological description of space in terms of "virtual spatiality" This kind of spatiality has heterogeneity and movement as its chief features. Drawing from the philosophical insights ofBergson, Nietzsche and Deleuze, this paper xoill attempt to unfold a heterogeneous and dynamic concept of virtual spatiality.
