化身执行一系列复杂的相互关联的功能。它们不仅允许我们表达数字化的
身份，他们促进身体能动性的表达，并通过非语言表达，帮助调解
网络环境中的社会互动。如果设计得好，它们可以带来一种“存在感”（
存在的感觉）和“共同存在”的感觉（与他人存在的感觉）。
由于这种复杂性，化身的研究可以通过一系列理论见解来丰富。
学科本文从批判理论、视觉传达和艺术理论（肖像画）的角度来考虑化身，以帮助阐明化身作为身份表达的作用。它继续认为，与化身的认同也是通过他们的能动性表达产生的，并讨论了解释这一过程的电影理论的好处。承认这种方法的局限性，本文借鉴了身体意象的哲学，人机交互（HCI）的体现互动理论，以及舞蹈等不同领域，
解释化身可以产生的认同感、沉浸感、存在感和共同存在感。
Avatars perform a complex range of inter-related functions. They not only allow us to express a digital
identity, they facilitate the expression of physical motility and, through non-verbal expression, help to mediate
social interaction in networked environments. When well designed, they can contribute to a sense of “presence” (a
sense of being there) and a sense of “co-presence” (a sense of being there with others) in digital space.
Because of this complexity, the study of avatars can be enriched by theoretical insights from a range of
disciplines. This paper considers avatars from the perspectives of critical theory, visual communication, and art theory (on portraiture) to help elucidate the role of avatars as an expression of identity. It goes on to argue that identification with an avatar is also produced through their expression of motility and discusses the benefits of film theory for explaining this process. Conceding the limits of this approach, the paper draws on philosophies of body image, Human Computer Interaction (HCI) theory on embodied interaction, and fields as diverse as dance to
explain the sense of identification, immersion, presence and co-presence that avatars can produce.
