Abstract. The author suggests the idea of reflecting the experience of social exclusion and considers the problem faced by people, communities and social institutions, that is a crisis of recognition. Recognition is referred to as the process during which one subject formulates new knowledge about another and evaluates it, as a result of it a commonality arises between them. However, in the conditions of the new reality, the negative consequences of isolation are visible, which are expressed in the following forms: spatial disunity, alienation, lack of communication, lack of joint social practices, separation from the community, individualization and, as a result, non-recognition. The idea of isolation prevents recognition. Isolation implies isolation / autonomy from social contacts, difficulty in gaining new knowledge about other objects, which leads to a weakening of the mimetic aspect of recognition and an increase in the perception of the danger of the Other. At the same time, the idea of initiation, which involves crossing the border, is an integral part of recognition – this fact implies the presence of at least two spaces of different quality, that is why, it is necessary to observe the principle of horizontality. Spaces are not arranged hierarchically, in online practices there is no boundary between private and public spaces, respectively, if there is no priority of one space over another, then there is no need to give recognition. The lack of recognition leads the subject to disorientation: when it becomes difficult for him to evaluate and understand the processes occurring not only with him, but also in the external world. Thus, we conclude that online practitioners do not form communities and shared presence that prevents the expression of recognition.
Key words: recognition, isolation, community, representation, evaluation, initiation.
