Transmisja pasożytnicza

100%

In this article I have applied Michel Serres’s theory of parasite culture to the analysis of technical media. Technology changes human relations forming new regulations in the field of culture. I have shown that parasitic transmission is an constitutive mode of being of technical media. I have illustrated my theoretical arguments by the examples of everyday media usage. I suggest that parasitic transmission is not something to be judged morally. Instead, I propose to look at it as a mechanism embedded in technoculture. I also draw consequences from that statement later in the summary of the paper.

Audiovisual culture annihilates boundaries between dualisms such as nature/culture and human/machine. In that process desire is also released and it can operate acrosss many regimes not being bound by dualisms.

The article focuses on a change in the understanding of death. Transhumanism is here understood as a reaction to the technicization of culture. One of the areas which are declared to be transcended by technology is human mortality. Analysis of such a change is conducted to show that one does not need a working technology that abolishes death, but that the change could be cultural and have significant impact on human life. This process of transcending death with the usage of technology is understood as a fictionalization of death. The philosophical and cultural outcomes are analyzed for human existence.

Cyberculture is not only a technologically disembodied information sphere but also a contemporary dominant form of culture. This thesis is presented by arguing that cyberculture forms virtual habitus that is highly unconscious for its users. At the same time, virtual habitus functions as a technology that gathers information about its users. It can be said that it also learns about the preferences of its users. This is established by a set of algorithms that are highly interconnected at a certain level, one to which users of cyberculture do not have any access. The article examines the consequences of functioning of humans in this kind of technologically mediated culture. There is a connection between virtual habitus (mostly unconscious) and antropotechnics (mostly conscious) – this intersection within cyberculture is presented as a basic mechanism that governs the being of its users. There article also features interpretations of ways of creating virtual habitus and their growing importance within contemporary society. In the conclusion, there is disputed a necessary role of philosophy in deconstructing the automatic character of cyberculture.
