In this chapter we question the common identification of the digital with the virtual as found in both everyday expressions and contemporary educational discourses. We claim that this identification is problematic as it neglects experiential differences regarding digital and virtual embodied realities. Indeed, a primordial form of the virtual already appears in the very embodied experience. Therefore, we suggest approaching virtuality primarily as a corporeal phenomenon in terms of protovirtuality. As a heuristic term, protovirtuality means that embodied experience is in a sense always mediated. However, such mediation is not necessarily to be understood as a digital mediation.
