Dragan Prole, "Alienated masses, alienated practice? Inherent Ethics of Contemporary Media Theories"

Την Παρασκευή 2 Ιουνίου ο Dragan Prole, Καθηγητής Φιλοσοφίας και Πρόεδρος του Τμήματος Φιλοσοφίας του Πανεπιστημίου του Novi Sad, πραγματοποίησε διάλεξη με θέμα: ¨Alienated masses, alienated practice? Inherent Ethics of Contemporary Media Theories¨ στο πλαίσιο του μαθήματος Θεωρητική Ηθική ΙΙ.

Περίληψη της ομιλίας: The intention of this lecture is to confront the basic thesis of the avant-garde and dystopia with the positions of Marshall McLuhan on the connection of alienation and media. Considering these two media theories in the context of the strategy of avant-garde and dystopia seems to be recommended as for judging their range and limitations so for reflecting upon one of the core questions of the contemporaneity, which is in relation to the effects and influences of the new mass media which are most commonly recognized in the problem of the foreignness, in regard to alienation. Second part of the lecture will question McLuhan’s understanding of alienation as a consequence of the sense ratio’s disproportion, and along with that, his critic of the typographic human. After establishing of the limits of his optimistic expectations from new audio-visual media to give the key contribution to desalination and rebirth of the new type of the integral man, the author emphasizes the actuality of McLuhans idea about the control by studying of the new perception models. 

Keywords: McLuhan, philosophy of media, avant-garde, dystopia, alienation
