metadata.value: The problem of virtualization of institutional forms of social interaction is not new, but it continues
  to remain relevant today in the context of the emergence of new information and digital
  tools. Social changes caused by social virtualization are manifested in the main spheres of life
  of a representative of the information society of the 21st century: in economics, politics, science,
  and culture. Information flow, digital technologies, and network “cobwebs” are embedded
  in the “core” of social interaction, forming a “cyber-skeleton” inside it, which, replacing
  real objects and actions with images, modifies the model of social relationships. The author
  conducts a theoretical study, during which the concept of social virtualization is clarified in
  the context of new social realities, some approaches to understanding the virtualization of society
  are considered and systematized, and the key characteristics of virtual reality are revised.
  Through the combined consideration of the theories of social virtualization by D. V. Ivanov
  and social interaction by P. A. Sorokin, conclusions are drawn about how social virtualization
  affects the institutional forms of interaction: namely, how the structure of social interaction is
  modified in the context of virtual space. Sorokin’s model of social action “subject — actor —
  conductor” is being transformed, and the “conductor” link is giving way to “cyber-channel,”
  which is presented as a tool for organizing spatial communication through new information
  and digital technologies (for example, social networks). Since virtualization as a global social
  process primarily consists of the local transformation of individual forms of social interactions, the article provides a number of author’s examples of “cyberprosthetic”, gradually
  transformed individual segments of public life by means of transition to virtual space, forms
  of everyday practices of representatives of the modern information society — virtual shop,
  virtual cemetery, virtual love.
