Virtual and digital in the light of contemporary sociological and philosophical theory

etween criticisms and comparisons

Abstract

Presenting sociology and philosophy in the face of the dimension taken by information, and its uses in contemporary times, requires a look at relationships and interactions in online environments called virtual or digital, such as media and social networks. With this, when thinking about the studies about the social and the dimension of a philosophy applied to the understanding of that same virtual / digital relationship on the internet, questions arise to be explored in order to understand certain transformations that the current society has undergone. Thus, from an exposition of examples of this interaction, and social transformation, made digital, I focus on new types of jobs (and workers), ways of arguing about the impacts of the uses of these digitalized media forms of appropriation of reality.
