Abstract

Den digitale tilstedeværelse af en person er en teoretisk konstruktion til formål at varetage de sociale og teknologiske interaktioner af selv-udtryk. Analysen er bygget som et casestudie af den digitale tilstedeværelse af den amerikanske innovator inden for bioniske proteser Hugh Herr. Undersøgelsen er teoretisk informeret af Erving Goffmans dramaturgisk analyse og Don Ihde s postphenomenological perspektiv på menneske-teknologi relationer. Den digitale tilstedeværelse en personer giver et nyt perspektiv på begrebet digital selvbetjening.

The digital presence of a person is a theoretical construct aimed to attend to the social and technological interactions of self-expressions. The analysis is built as a case study of the digital presence of the American innovator in the field of bionic prostheses Hugh Herr. The study is theoretically informed by Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical analysis and Don Ihde’s postphenomenological perspective on human-technology relations. The digital presence of a persons offers a new perspective on the concept of digital self.
