Abstract
Loneliness in a crowd has taken on particular forms with the advent of the Internet and social networks. There's a dissociation between the body, alone in front of the computer, and the mind, constantly busy, polluted by messages from an anonymous or misidentified crowd. Who are " the friends " we make on social networks ? Man thinks he's alone, but he never is. He thinks he's accompanied, but isn't either. At least, his mind is colonized, but he remains profoundly alone emotionally.
