Catalog Description
As electronic communication and accelerated modes of transportation shrink our planet more and more, technologies are often assumed to be the science of either salvation or human damnation. On the one hand, postmodern celebrations of contemporary technology and iDES related cultural sensibilities can be viewed. On the other hand, elegies on the death of nature and the dangers of automation and dehumanization can be portrayed. By avoiding one or the other extreme, the course intends to rethink technologies in an advanced technological age. With variety of approaches raised by the writings of Heidegger, Benjamin, Virilio, Guattari, Jean Luc Nancy, this course tries to show how the necessity to rethink technologies is at the heart of our present and future existence.
