Abstract

The article deals with the virtual corporality of a person as a unity and confrontation of the desire for self-presentation and anonymity in the virtual space. Within the framework of this topic, a brief review and analysis of studies devoted in whole or in part to these aspects of the virtual corporality was made. As a result of the analysis, the points of contact of the studied aspects with each other were identified, the inconsistency of their joint existence was noted both within a specific virtual body and within the boundaries of a particular virtual space. The state of the superposition of virtual corporality is revealed, characterized by the interpenetration of the studied aspects and the leveling of the degree of alienation from one's own body. The key communicative role of the virtual body is noted.
