Эпистемология Другого в платформенной культуре: семиотика узнавания
This article addresses the epistemological transformations of knowledge about the Other under platform culture. It examines the shift from the communicative experience of presence to a data regime in which otherness is constituted through predictive classification and interface routing. The platform is conceptualized as a system that presents the subject with an already-categorized Other, thereby eliminating the uncertainty inherent in epistemic risk. The article analyzes the movement from intersubjective relations to managed correlations: the Other appears not as an addressee but as an object of computable relevance, assembled from digital traces, metrics, and interface cues. The central concept is the metasimulacrum of the Other - an epistemological regime in which the Other ceases to function as a condition of knowledge and is replaced by a construct of recognizability. Unlike the classical simulacrum, which registers the substitution of the real by the sign, the metasimulacrum produces interface verisimilitude: knowledge sufficient to imitate understanding, yet foreclosing the event of encounter and the temporality of doubt. Such knowledge requires no dialogue, enclosed within probabilistic repeatability and replacing the event with a recognizable profile. Drawing on three anthropological patterns - alimentarity, vestimentarity, and sexuality - the article demonstrates how the platform borrows and recodes mechanisms of recognition, returning a semiotic residue in place of embodied experience. Particular attention is paid to sexuality as a domain where platform-driven reduction of otherness to typified visual scripts manifests most acutely. The conclusion outlines the epistemological consequences of replacing perception with recognition: neutralization of otherness, reduction of empathetic risk, and the disappearance of the Other as an event capable of problematizing the established order of recognition.
