The paper investigates the hypothesis that new media represent an environment which provides new elements for social interaction. Even without replicating the social configurations proper to face to face interaction, mediated interaction is not able to eliminate the presence of such elements as alterity, deception and stigma. It is argued that the perception of alterity in cyberspace is markedly instrumental, since it serves as a reference to the establishment of stigmatised relations.Downloads
