Culture of (more than) technological fear

Abstracts

EN

Fear is an emotion imminently related to our human nature. It redefines almost the entire trajectory of ouralives, often turning it inside out. It is present at our birth, and accompanies us in our final hour. It is a universal experience, one of the most primal of emotions, which humans try to tame and defeat. Since the dawn of history, people have been scared of someone or something. At first, it was nature, animals or – generally speaking – the unknown. Slowly but successfully technology is taking over the role of the Alien, simultaneously linking this figure with all negative ideas.
