“…Reflecting the fact that the internet cyberspace represents a great means for selfexpression and communication in the present society [9] and, as Cocking points out, that we today present ourselves extensively when we conduct a great deal of activities and relationships with the help of computer technology, together with the author of this paper, we can ask what kind of online identity and relationship it is actually possible to create [8].…”

“…The physical nature is distinguishable in our online interactions and acts as a distinguishing factor for who we are, or what we mean for other people [13]. We can also notice that in cyberspace, our new living world, we can indeed have a multitude of partial identities, even simultaneously, but these are not independent from our subjective situation or social and cultural environment in "real" living world [9].…”

“…We believe that we, creative beings, have a duty to "give our life a meaning and ensure it is coherent with our experience" [26] also in the context of our living world. In this world, our individual interests and social roles should create a coherent, even though not complete, life story [9].…”

The subject of the chapter is cyberspace in an axiological perspective, which is our new lifeworld. The focus is particularly on the problem of the quality of our life in its specific circumstances. The aim is (on the background of the characteristics of cyberspace as a lifeworld) to solve the problem of values and significance, but also the risks of our so-called cyber experience. In this context, the aim is also to identify various conditions, axiological indicators and the relevant elements of the quality of our life in cyberspace. The authors pursue their goal using the phenomenological-hermeneutic method within the four parts of the chapter. In part 1, cyberspace is interpreted as a life world that is co-constructed in our acts of communication. In part 2, the problem of values, significance and risks of our cyber experience is discussed. The key variable is digital "wellbeing." As they point out in part 3, it should be our morally based value "good life," which is expressed as "ethos" in our life. In part 4, in this perspective, we are faced with the relevant task of the art of living 'ars vivendi' with the necessary coherent self-understanding and value-moral claims and the education should also have a "psychological" dimension.

Cet article se propose d’examiner le projet d’une sémiotique de la culture en considérant les contacts entre la sémiotique greimassienne et l’anthropologie. Les différences entre Greimas et Lévi-Strauss dans les années 1960 ont conduit la sémiotique à abandonner l’idée d’approcher la culture. Ces dernières années, la sémiotique post-greimassienne, tournée vers les pratiques et l’expérience, a renoué le dialogue en s’inspirant des propositions de Latour et de Descola pour rediscuter la notion de culture du point de vue des collectifs et des ontologies. À contre-courant de la recherche actuelle, nous défendons ici l’idée que le projet d’une sémiotique de la culture est déjà incarné par l’anthropologie structurale. Du fait de son héritage des méthodes linguistiques, qu’elle applique au terrain, et de son ouverture aux modélisations formelles comme aux approches phénoménologiques ou cognitives, elle nous paraît constituer un cadre sûr et suffisant pour étudier les cultures. Au croisement des approches de Greimas, Lotman et Lévi-Strauss, la théorie structurale en anthropologie et sémiotique paraît toujours d’actualité et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives de recherches avec les « cultures numériques ».

Since the second half of the twentieth century, especially from the 1990s to the present, we have seen significant sociocultural changes that have mostly been influenced by information technology. In the area of information technology, it is mainly the Internet that is the essential part of all modern communication technologies such as smartphones, iPads, and so on. The Internet is a new communication space, also called cyberspace, in which we not only communicate but also work, learn, buy, have fun, and so on. It does not seem to be a mere "tool" of our new way of communication, but a dimension that becomes part of our existence. We then have to ask how our existence is changing under the influence of new technologies. How do we change the value system in cyberspace communication? What are the possibilities and risks of communication in cyberspace? These are just some of the issues that arise in connection with communication in cyberspace to which we will seek answers. In the chapter we use the phenomenological and hermeneutic method. Through the phenomenological method, we examine the basic structure of cyberspace (Clark, Ropolyi) and, using a hermeneutic method, examine the differences between communication in cyberspace and old media (Lohisse, Postman, Bystřický).
