Resumo A velocidade da midia eletrônica altera o campo dos conceitos e introduz nova forma de experienciar o tempo e o espaço, aqui tratada como ciberespaço. Ela se relaciona a uma geograficidade determinada pelo processo do desencaixe, entendido como o deslocamento das relações sociais dos contextos locais de interação e sua reestruturação através de extensões indefinidas de tempo-espaço, promovido pela telemática. Palavras-chave: espaço real-virtual, ciberespaço, rede.Abstract The electronic media speed changes the field of concepts and introduces a new way to experience time and space, called here cyberspace. It’s related to a geographicity determined by the process of desimbedding, meaning the social relations displacement from local interaction contexts and its reestructuring through indefined time-space extensions, promoted by telematics. Keywords: real-virtual space, cyberspace, network.

Due to the digital technologies and the possibilities of modern means of communication, the functioning of virtual space as a new symbolic environment is a specific form of human being that forms new needs, phobias, cultural markers, new faces of the image of one's own «I» and others. The lack of personal communication, in the context of transfer to the virtual area, opens up unlimited possibilities for a person, allows you to undertake any role, blurs socio-cultural boundaries, forms new personal qualities and the like. A person, while in a virtual space, perceives it as a parallel reality, and himself - as a game character with the corresponding rules.

The problem of the balance between society and personality, awareness of ‘individuality’, ‘personality’, as well as ‘publicity’ (publicness) are ranked among the central philosophical issues. There are many interpretations of them. And these matters remain critical in today’s ‘individualised’ society. Based on a philosophic-anthropological approach, and using comparative-historical methods, the authors trace the cultural-historical transformation of the subsistence of an individual in society from Antiquity to the present. An individual is characterised via such conceptions as ‘social type’, ‘individuality’, ‘personality’. The author’s interpretation of these concepts does not always coincide with the generally accepted one. In particular, the individual is often understood as an ‘ensemble of social relations’, i.e. as synonymous with the social. Furthermore, the authors define the term ‘social type’ as an expression of the societal, the term ‘individuality’ as a holograph or verge of the world, the absolute, mankind, whereas the term ‘personality’ is understood as an individuality rendered ‘in-being-with-others’. The main developmental trend in the relationship between the individual and society is the long cultural-historical transition from an individuality ‘outside the world’ to an individuality ‘in the world’. The authors justify the idea that an individualised society is not a society of individuals. Furthermore, the transformation of the conventional conception of publicness is revealed, the ephemerality of publicness in contemporary society in general, and particularly in virtual space, is highlighted. Publicness is substituted with cocktail parties, ‘cloakroom communities’, and shindigs. The article deals with the construction of virtual identity in the social media of the younger generation. At the end of the article, the authors conclude that in the contemporary world of multiple identities, a person has to look for life values, once again facing the problem of choice and a new understanding of freedom.

The subject of the article directly fits into the process of broadly understood security. The author indicates the opportunities and threats in the social space of the Internet of human functioning. The aim of the article is to analyze the basic human threats while experiencing freedom and trust in the virtual space. The author poses the question: Should the Internet be a space of unlimited freedom? Freedom seems to be not only an immanent but also a constitutive feature of the virtual space in which the Internet functions. It should be emphasized that the issues are discussed from very different perspectives and in processes as well as social relations. The article consists of three parts. In the first one the author presented the issues of cyberspace development, whose specific features favor the development of the virtual community. Next, she defined the most important areas concerning the culture of freedom and the consent of human education as a way of promoting its independence in the social space of the Internet. The last part of the publication contains the most important theses regarding threats related to human personal safety in cyberspace.

This paper is about the role of technology in the transformation of space, and the ways in which these changes are represented. These processes are explored principally through critical analysis of the work of Harvey and Lefebvre; more specifically, I contrast the place of technology as expressed through their varied emphases on the annihilation of space, and the production of space. The dramatic restructuring of space and time in recent decades, associated with new high-speed geographies of production, exchange, and consumption, has been theorized against the backdrop of a ‘shrinking world’, The popular conception of the world shrinking to a global village is generally seen as the product of technological advances in telecommunications, transportation, and ‘information’. For Harvey, these innovations arc seen as the means through which capital has freed itself from spatial constraints. By placing the ‘collapse of space’ jargon alongside Marx's phrase, the annihilation of space by time, these spatial metaphors serve Harvey as shorthand for the complexities of time-space compression; the shrinking world is seen as a midpoint between a regime of accumulation and a mode of representation. I argue that, although these metaphors help to theorize the relativity of space—as the global impinges on the local—they only do so by obfuscating the relative space of everyday life, and the increasingly technical means through which it is produced. Through an interpretation of Lefebvre's discussion of technology in The Production of Space, I suggest how the role of technology in the transformation of space is not limited to those globalizing processes through which the world has been made increasingly interconnected in space and time. So too, technology has been critical to the domination of conceived space over lived space as social relations are spatialized at the scale of experience. As a foundation for these arguments, the social relations of technology and technological change are theorized through the incorporation of ideas from the social studies of science and technology and from critical human geography.

Este trabalho, filiado à Análise de Discurso materialista, analisa os sentidos em torno do significante cultura nos discursos que circularam no espaço virtual a partir do afastamento da Presidenta do Brasil, Dilma Rousseff, em maio de 2016. A extinção do Ministério da Cultura (MinC) foi uma das primeiras medidas do governo de Michel Temer, mas devido às repercussões negativas e uma série de mobilizações em espaços culturais e em redes sociais o MinC foi recriado, onze dias após a sua extinção. A partir de sequências discursivas recortadas do espaço virtual, observamos como tanto o ódio à cultura quanto a resistência pela cultura foram postas em circulação num país onde os sentidos em torno do direito à cultura pareciam estar semanticamente estáveis. A breve extinção do Minc, portanto, expôs a diferença constitutiva das relações sociais e a dificuldade do governo de administrar esse litígio.Abstract: The present work, affiliated to materialist Discourse Analysis, assesses the meanings around the signifier “culture” in the discourses that circulates in the virtual space since the impeachment of Brazilian President, Dilma Rousseff, in May of 2016. The extinction of the Ministry of Culture (MinC) was one of the first measures of Michel Temer government, but, due to both negative repercussions and a series of mobilizations in cultural spaces and in the social media, the MinC was recreated eleven days after its extinction. From the discursive sequences cropped in the virtual space, we observed that both hatred towards culture and the resistance to protect it were put in circulation in a country where the meanings regarding the right to culture seemed to be semantically stable. The brief extinction of MinC, therefore, exposed the constitutive differences in the social relations and the struggles of the government to manage that litigation.

The article reveals the issue of time recorded in the urban space, which determines the specific rhythm, continuity and passing of consecutive generations and their social relations. Presented research results focus on cemeteries and appear to be helpful in better understanding of their identity in the city structure, as well as the factors shaping their perceptions by individual people. Qualitative research methods have been applied, in particular: visual materials (photos) analysis and the semantic field analysis. It seems that the use of images and narratives opens up new possibilities for human geography, new sources of spatial exploration. The problem undertaken in the article is important both from the cognitive and practical perspective related to the appropriate shaping of the city space – modern, yet at the same time not rooted out of the tradition and identity of a particular place, where people would feel good, being able to find both a reference to the past and to the future.

The article is devoted to the analysis of written language of adolescents and young people with hearing impairment in the virtual space. The study involved 28 people, aged 16 to 20 years, 14 of them were with hearing impairments. 3 people at the age of 16 years old, 9 people are 17 years old, 4 people are 18 years old. The first part of the study was conducted as online questionnaires, which was aimed to clarify preferred virtual spaces for communication, the attitude to the written communication, also creative tasks for evaluation of written language developed by O.V. Vilenskaya was included. The second part consisted of analysis of the contents of the social network profile of the participants. The results have shown that the written language of deaf adolescents and young people in social networks reflected the general features of their verbal communication and social relations (in general, they use less detailed written statements than hearing peers do, less actually initiated written language, less flexible writing, less partners for communication in social networks, the prevalence of consistency errors). Nevertheless, it is significant that they appreciate the importance of writing and try to monitor its accuracy. Virtual communication in the life of young people with hearing impairments plays the same role as in the life of hearing peers and they successfully master this side of modern reality.

Abstract. In family systems, it is possible for one to put oneself at risk by eliciting aversive, high-risk behaviors from others ( Cook, Kenny, & Goldstein, 1991 ). Consequently, it is desirable that family assessments should clarify the direction of effects when evaluating family dynamics. In this paper a new method of family assessment will be presented that identifies bidirectional influence processes in family relationships. Based on the Social Relations Model (SRM: Kenny & La Voie, 1984 ), the SRM Family Assessment provides information about the give and take of family dynamics at three levels of analysis: group, individual, and dyad. The method will be briefly illustrated by the assessment of a family from the PIER Program, a randomized clinical trial of an intervention to prevent the onset of psychosis in high-risk young people.
