Abstract

We use phenomenology to reflect on the experience of being with others as mediated by screens through videoconferencing platforms, a phenomenon accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic and social isolation measures. We explore two directions to explain the intersubjective experience of a videoconference. One direction introduces a conceptual background based on previous contributions in phenomenology, while the other one is more speculative: we introduce the novel idea of a phantom other. First, we understand this phenomenon either as a correlate of image consciousness or as a paradoxical perception. Then, we introduce the phantom other using ideas offered in phenomenological descriptions in which the phantom limb appears as a quasi-presence. The phantom other is the same flesh and blood body with whom I co-constitute senses of the world. In a videoconference, the other appears as a whole body with which I coordinate, although she appears as a phantom other.
虚拟世界中的肉体间性:与虚幻他人的相遇
我们使用现象学来反思通过视频会议平台通过屏幕介导的与他人相处的体验,这一现象因Covid-19大流行和社会隔离措施而加速。我们探索了两个方向来解释视频会议的主体间体验。一个方向介绍了基于现象学先前贡献的概念背景,而另一个方向则更具推测性:我们介绍了幻影他者的新想法。首先,我们将这种现象理解为图像意识的相关或一种矛盾的感知。然后,我们使用现象学描述中的概念来介绍幻肢,其中幻肢以准存在的形式出现。幻影他者是同一个有血有肉的身体,我和他共同构成了世界的感觉。在视频会议中,另一个人以我协调的整体出现,尽管她是一个幻影。
