Abstract

The theme of the narcissismin the present time has been discussed by different areas of knowledge, including by scholars than would be called \'Philosophy of Difference\', recurrently attributed to authors such as Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guatarri, Michel Foucault, Henri Bergson e Friedrich Nietzsche. The aim of this study is discuss about the theme of the narcissismfrom said epistemological field. Therefore, this proposal was conducted over three stages: first, there was a etymological study of narcissismterm and also the context of its creation and implementation for different epistemologicalfields, with the aim of presenting elements and counterpoints to the delineation of notion of a \'neo\' (new) narcissism; second was carried out a literature review to analyze texts that directly or indirectly discuss about narcissism in a related approach to controland processes of subjectivity; in the third, and in correlation to the previous steps, an ethnographicresearch was conducted in cyberspacecontext with a specific group of individuals residing in the same building, and that would be interrelated from the mediation of a \'Social Media\' ( WhatsApp) conceived for use in mobile technology (smartphones). From this study, in correspondence to the respective theoretical and methodological approaches, it was possible to advance the discussion and characterization about neo-narcissism, understood from the perspective of a relational dynamics whose trend reflects the modes of constitution of the subjectivities in contemporary, in particular with regard to mediation between consciousness and its reference to itself, and cooptation through communications networks and exchanges in the context of Web 2.0 (AU)
