year = {2023},
note = {In this philosophical essay, Rune Klevjer sketches out the main
principles of avatar-mediated selfhood in video games and other
digital environments. The idea that avatars mediate for the user and
player a sense of a re-embodied self is common in the literature,
whether understood as virtual body, as digital persona, or as game
piece. Drawing on Gallagher and Zahavi's notions of experiential
selfhood and world-embeddedness, Klevjer suggests that being an avatar
in this way is not merely a matter of extended agency or
self-presentation, but that it is essentially about re-embedded
subjectivity and selfhood. In avatarhood, alien environments become
our environment, our habitat.},
