Why Virtual Space Is Endless
Why Virtual Space Is Endless

Summary/Abstract: The following article focuses on virtual space and on identification processes and stages in order to show why the virtual space is endlessly resourceful for the user who finds this particular space to be the ultimate identity enhancer. The article begins by defining some key terms and by putting forth that the mirror stage (as cited in Lacan, 2006) is instrumental in understanding identification processes that the subject is to undergo throughout his/her life. Other identity theories are brought into discussion in order to broaden the theoretical understanding of identification in virtual space.
