Abstract

Digital resources can be created, modified, edited, disaggregated and recomposed with extreme ease thanks to the wide dissemination of technological tools, the simplicity of their use and the presence of a worldwide network that enables instant communication. However, the continuous editing and remix of digital resources produces objects whose boundaries and identities become blurred and indefinite, leading to the progressive erosion of the authority of sources and the consequent alteration of our relationship of trust with them. The essay investigates both the identity of digital resources, to understand how it is altered by reuse, and the identity of the reuse, interpreting every action as a form of mediation that affects and determines the relationship with objects. Context emerges as a fundamental concept for understanding the nature and contours of identity, and Activity Theory is presented as a tool for interpreting the phenomenon of reuse in a different perspective.
