Abstract:	Among the theorists of virtual environments, the ambivalence of embodiment and disembodiment, as well as the physical and mental effects experienced in virtual environments, is much discussed. The dichotomy of the "real" vs. the "virtual" has been called "the representational dilemma of cyberspace". Most intriguing in this dilemma is certainly the topic of the limits of the body in virtual reality experiences. In fact, it is a dilemma that challenges semiotics. This paper proposes that the Peircean concepts of immediate and dynamic object can help to understand the complementarities, mixtures, and interchanges between the carnal bodies and the alternative bodies as a way of overcoming the too simple dualisms of the real vs. the virtual, the natural vs the artificial, or the material vs. its specters.
