(Con)domain of cyberspace: algorithmic cyberculture in pursuit of the technification of discontent

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between algorithmic cyberculture and the technification of malaise in contemporary society. Based on the premise that human intervention in the natural state of things, driven by technical and scientific development, solves problems but also generates new forms of suffering, the study analyzes how cyberculture intensifies this dynamic. The research addresses digital segregation, filter bubbles, and the domains of cyberspace as mechanisms that, instead of promoting diversity and subjective openness, can lead to exclusion and homogenization of thought through a process of digital condomization. The analysis is based on theoretical references from psychoanalysis, sociology, and computer science, highlighting the importance of a critical reflection on the impacts of technology on the subject and social bonds. It concludes that the technification of malaise in algorithmic cyberculture requires constant attention to its segregative effects and the need to promote a more democratic and inclusive management of cyberspace.
