DIGITAL IDENTITY
DIGITAL IDENTITY

Summary/Abstract: The text aims to bring forward a topical issue, that of digital identity. Based on a series of international discussions (Davos Forum, EU) but also in the context of recent announcements in the field of new technologies (the announcement made by M. Zuckerberg on the metaverse), I proposed a socio-anthropological approach of the identity phenomenon today. At least in the documents consulted, the classic social identity is doubled by a virtual social identity and the latter has different names: digital wallet, Good Health Pass, global identity. From a phenomenological perspective and placed in the context of the distinction between utopia and heterotopia (M. Foucault) we can say that digital identity is revealed to us as a heterotopic identity that places our entire system of perception and identity construction in a new paradigm.
