Digital Practice

The "modern" paradigm envisaged cultural phenomena as autonomous  entitites that have "content" and "form", which are mutually related,  but ideally independent, just as the cultural subject is a self- conscious bearer of a particular will. The process of textual  production as well as the ways of distribution/transmission of  cultural texts were largely considered irrelevant. At present, all  these assumptions have been abandoned. In my talk, I am going to look  at the changes that the digital channels of text distribution and  communication practice have caused in the structure of the cultural  edifice as well as the cultural subject, trying out other ontologies  than the Platonic/Cartesian for a philosophical grounding of an  updated model of the relations between the subject, the expression and  the space of interpretation.
