| Abstract [eng] |
Homo irretitus, the endogenous citizen of global information society, emerges as the most widespread and important figure of the contemporary habitus. In compliance with the counterfactual concept of information society, telematic interactions already serve as a constitutive framework of the modern lifeworld, providing the crucial basis of its enactment and continuous maintenance. The technologically entrenched transformation is inter alia accompanied by the overarching reduction of the received sociocultural practices of knowledge into the easy access to and management of the measureless volumes of information flows and feedbacks. The distinction between active and passive forms of telematic interaction fades away: the newfangled global digital perpetuum mobile, generating superficial structures of meaning, relies on predominantly reactive, multitasking and thereby systematically simplifying appropriation of the communicated content. Nevertheless, it is at least doubtful that this innovative change actually implies a fundamental shift in our civilization. |
