Abstract

The text aims to bring forward a topical issue, that of digital identity. Based on a series of international  discussions (Davos Forum, EU) but also in the context of recent announcements   in  the  field  of  new  technologies  (the  announcement   made  by  M. Zuckerberg on the metaverse), I proposed a socio-anthropological approach of the identity phenomenon  today.  At least  in the  documents  consulted,  the  classic social identity  is doubled by a virtual social identity and the latter has different names: digital wallet, Good Health Pass, global identity.  From a  phenomenological  perspective  and  placed  in  the context of the distinction between utopia and heterotopia  (M. Foucault) we can say that digital identity is revealed to us as a heterotopic identity that places our entire system of perception and identity construction in a new paradigm.
