Starting from the evolution of the concepts of space and boundary, we suggest that our individual and collective mental representation of the world – more and more interpolated and mediated by the digital dimension – can be defined as a “cognitive-digital" geography. In fact, the circulation of information in the digital realm creates a map, unrelated to traditional geography, through which we build relationships, read the world and redraw the boundaries, at least in our perception.

Abstract

Starting from the evolution of the concepts of space and boundary, we suggest that our individual and collective mental representation of the world – more and more interpolated and mediated by the digital dimension – can be defined as a “cognitive-digital" geography. In fact, the circulation of information in the digital realm creates a map, unrelated to traditional geography, through which we build relationships, read the world and redraw the boundaries, at least in our perception. This article will investigate how this “cognitive- digital" geography can affect the construction of identities.
