Abstract

In order to analyze the digital as an object of study it is necessary to establish a theoretical basis in the humanities, to understand the changes and reconfigurations that cultures, societies and the arts have experienced. As such, the aim of this article is to situate the concept of subjectivity in the context of the massive Internet connection and the use of electronic devices, to comprehend how it is possible in the digital. Thus, this thesis can be extrapolated to different conceptual frameworks, which are reconfigured under electronic and networked environments, and new information and communication technologies. This allows a critical study of the digital on a general level, comprehending a base of concepts that are needed to analyze the humanities and the arts in the digital cultures. A theoretical-conceptual framework is established, alongside examples of artistic works and real-life situations, so new points of view are added to literary and cultural theories. Likewise, this article will explore the issues present in the relations between users, artistic objects and new technologies.
