Abstract

Political subjectivity today takes on a symbolic or digital form. The symbolic subject is gradually replacing the physical subject from the political sphere. The state power in its activity essentially relies on symbolic politics, an element of which it, being a type of political activity, is itself. Symbolic politics is a special kind of political communication, aimed not at rational understanding of reality, but at creating sustainable meanings of reality through staging reality or its visualization. Symbolic politics is the activity of political structures aimed at the production, promotion, imposition and use of certain methods of interpreting social reality as dominant. Modern symbolic politics have strengthened their influence through the use of digital technology. The symbolic subject is the subject of a symbolic policy, the effectiveness of which when modeling the subject is insufficient. Digitalization of the symbolic subject and symbolic power can resolve the contradiction between them.
