Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the nexus of experience – memory – identity, to discuss the ways in which mediatisation and medialisation of experiences transform the status, structures and roles of memory and to develop the concept of hybrid identity. The author analyses several theories dealing with this issue in order to demonstrate that despite developing some useful terms and concepts, and providing an outlook on recent social changes, they did not notice the consequences of the processes of transformation of contemporary culture from media culture to cyberculture based on interactive virtual practices.
