The author shows how the adolescent process has its place within a scenality in anamorphosis with the structure of the virtual networks on the internet. Drawing on what he calls “the remains of the other in the object”, he shows how the data processing object induces certain specific forms of linking between the subjects using the networks. These forms are close to the fantasy surrounding the primal and the adolescent process, namely, of self-begetting-in-the-presence-of-the-other. By looking again at all these elements, he shows how, nowadays, adolescent initiation is a twofold initiation: the initiation of the adolescent by the establishment and the initiation of the establishment by the adolescent.
