Oryginalny artykuł naukowy
The article explores the application of migration studies to the study of cyberculture. Especially, it is interested in the figure of the exile as a metaphor for human condition in cyberspace with reference to the framework of the philosophy of migration developed by Donatella Di Cesare (2022) and the studies of exilic condition by Madelaine Hron (2010) and Abdemalek Sayad (1999). The first part of the article discusses the experience of exile from the body, i.e. the disconnection from physicality (Sisto, 2022), while the second part deals with the exile from modernity, understood as a stable set of reference frameworks and metanarratives, and entering a symbolically disordered space (Roscoe, 2024). Both of these experiences, it is argued, are akin to the experience of migrants. Thus, migration studies bring relevant insights for the philosophy and politics of the digital spaces.
