This paper brings together the perspective of social production of space as a
‘category’ which creates the ‘inter-subjective’ world of virtual reality where
interaction is subjected to individual’s virtual ‘privacy’ and in turn shapes their
extended ‘self and identity’. This reality keeps on negotiating with the actor as an
external entity which can be identified as ‘identity’ and also as an internal entity
which is often categorised as ‘self’. The perspectives on extension of space blurred
the notion of reality and imagination by identifying itself with Baudrillard’s (1983)
notion of ‘hyper-reality’. And this is being considered to study the ‘intersubjectivity’
of virtual reality. Empirically, the paper focuses on young Facebook user’s behaviour
to understand major questions like young users concern on the issue of ‘privacy’ in
virtual space and their presentation of ‘self and identity’. For the construction of
the young user’s notion on “privacy, self and identity”, we have considered the
qualitative explanation provided by 80 young users across different parts of the
country
