The Impact

The article discusses the changing of the lifeworld under the influence of virtualization, the dominant tendency of the modern digital era. The main aim is to analyze the transformations of the lifeworld in the virtualization of human being, which determines the formation of a new sociocultural paradigm. The authors solve a twofold problem. Firstly, the semantic connotations of the concept “lifeworld” are restored from the point of view of the historical and philosophical tradition. A significant place is given to the conceptual analysis of the positions of E. Husserl, M. Heidegger, A. Schütz, J. Habermas and others. Secondly, they reveal the ontological, anthropological and axiological refractions of the lifeworld due to its fusion with the virtual environment. The methodological strategy is based on the potential of multivariate analysis, which includes a quadriga that combines objectivity, processuality, projectivity and environmental characteristics. The specific features of a virtualized lifeworld are analyzed taking into account the findings of both modern Western researchers: J. Sullins, S. Mehdizadeh, V. Miller, A. Clark, and Russian ones: M. Antipov, A. Voiskunsky, V. Volkov, I. Kasavin, N. Motroshilova, D. Martyanov, N. Smirnova, Zh. Toshchenko, V. Fedotova et al. The focus is on such phenomena of the virtualized lifeworld as “content viewers”, “digital skills”, knowledge rental, “double update”. In describing the contours of the new paradigm, attention is drawn to the replacing of being with its virtual counterparts, creating quasi-events that accompany the constitution of a “different order” of reality. The authors substantiate an ambivalent assessment of the virtualization of the lifeworld, taking into account its positive and negative effects. An analysis of the transformations of the lifeworld in modern conditions is concretized by considering the impact of networked computer games on human consciousness, and shows a decrease in the meaningfulness of actions, the violation of identity and the illusion of the denial of mortality. The authors come to the conclusion that the virtualization of the lifeworld sets other sociocodes, transforming the entire system of connections and relations. Its ontological projection indicates the construction of a “different being” rather than an “everyday life” with significant temporal changes and a new kind of digital alienation. Anthropological transformations are caused by the emergence of a new form of sociality – the sociality of the network, a request to improve digital skills that ensure existence in the digital world. A digital person is associated with the need for a “double upgrade” and can position a completely different identity. Axiological transformations testify to the deformation of conceptual thinking, to the design of new criteria for success and forms of motivation, to the self-sufficiency of network communication.

The research paper addresses the issue of the impact of MMORPGs on social culture and communication skills of individuals. The mainstream discourse about computer games which take individuals away from reality and substitute the real life by the fictional one is complemented by brand new ideas, which affirm that computer games do not substitute but supplement the real life and expand its possibilities. To confirm the presented point of view we use diagnostic questionnaire of interpersonal relations by A.A. Rukavishnikov. This questionnaire is aimed to evaluate typical ways of respondent’s attitude towards other people. At this point we have 43 gamers and 29 non-gamers involved in our research, aged 18 to 57. The comparison of a user and non-user answers gives a bigger view on an overall gaming experience. In the obtained indices we note that there are no fundamental differences between MMORPGs gamers and ordinary people. During research, MMORPGs users have showed many important social interaction skills such as striving to control own actions, collaborate with others, though with a low interest in emotionally charged relationships. Authors discuss the idea about the differences between addiction and fascination among gamers.
