Abstract
The electronically mediated communication has transform ed our notion of the relation between place and community. With a greater proportion of our communicative acts taking place via electronic medi a, physical co1presence, the co1located interpersonal relations are diminishing as determinants of the nature of human interactions. This paper argues that the elec tronically mediated communication contributes to the construction of ne w, mediated forms of communities which are based on the interaction or o perational synthesis of virtual and physical communities. The appearance of these n ew forms of communities leads to a new conceptualization of the relation be tween self and community. The aim of this paper is to show that the medium of the mediatization and new conceptualization of community is a specific pictor ial language of electronically mediated communication, the semantic structure of w hich offers new opportunities to grasp and understand the complex n otion of new mediated communities and to adopt the idea of a new global, community building language in local and national communities.
