Book part: Mediascape, antropotechnics, culture of presence, and the flight from God
Abstract
Erick Felinto addresses the growing digital illiteracy compared
to times before graphical user interface and calls, with Vilém
Flusser, the hacker the actual educational ideal of our time.
He discusses the enthusiasm and misconceptions in early net
culture discourse, sees ‘speculative futurism’ and ‘theoretical
fictions’ as the discursive strategy of tomorrow, considers
technology as an ‘uncanny form of life’ and inevitable correction
to the dictate of nature, explains the different concepts of
posthumanism, and questions that (human) life is necessarily
the ultimate goal of the cosmos. He explores the dialectic of
silence and phatic communication in new media in the context
of a general shift from the ‘culture of meaning’ to a ‘culture of
presence’ and the exhaustion of the interpretative paradigm in
the Humanities.
