Learning to walk and talk (again): what developmental psychology can teach us about online intersubjectivity

Philosophical Explorations, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 27(2), С. 237 - 250

Опубликована: Май 3, 2024

Since the advent of internet, researchers have been interested in intersubjective possibilities and constraints that digital environments offer users. Some argue seemingly disembodied digitally-mediated interactions are severely limited when compared to their embodied face-to-face counterparts; others more optimistic about such technologies afford. Yet, both camps tend towards offering static accounts online intersubjectivity. What we think these approaches fail take into account is how users' capabilities on platforms can evolve change over time. Developmental psychology emphasises build upon interrelated one another, sophisticated styles intersubjectivity only emerge once earlier stages place. This suggestive for analysing as it provides a framework thinking an individual's might develop. We some cases this happen through gradual adjustments our basic spaces, especially those strive mimic established forms offline interaction (e.g. Zoom). In other cases, involve substantial processes learning walk talk again online. Consequently, determining limits is, at least part, relative user's skill, history, familiarity with technology question.
