The decay of aura and the media integrator (About the transition from consciousness as a medium of ideas to consciousness as a medium of communication)
(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2008) Denkov, Dimitar
This study is an attempt to conceptualize the media decay of the aura around things, the sublation of the imagination and stunted development of the modes of thinking typical of the Enlightenment - a more or less global process since the mid-20th century. As a side effect, it could offer an insight into our critical reaction against and among the media, a reaction based on hierarchical dispositions vis-a-vis the truth, on the privileged treatment of the means, on the identification of truth with illusion which is renounced in traditional society and moral instruction, etc. The purpose of this study is to outline certain aspects of the integration into a media-globalized world - an integration evolving beyond, past and against all deliberate holistic projects, and whose objective is all-round openness or universal networking within a possible, to some extent imaginary, reality. This reality has been recently called virtual.
