SUBJECTIVITY AND DIGITAL CULTURE

The conference aims to explore the theme of the relations between subjectivity and digital culture from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective. In particular, the underlying question addressed during the three study days will concern the feedback of digital cultural systems on (conscious and unconscious) techniques of subjectivization, which is to say of self-perception, self-knowledge and self-transformation, on the part of human subjects. The conference is organized by the Chair of Technikphilosophie (Philosophy of Technology) of TU Dresden, with the aim of bringing together the leading international scholars in the field to discuss a highly topical issue. The guiding thread of the conference will be the methodologies and problems inherent to the philosophy of technology, with an eye to phenomenological and post-phenomenological repercussions. The aim, therefore, is not just to hold an interdisciplinary conference on a technology-related topic, but to create an interdisciplinary dialogue between philosophy and those disciplines that may be seen to play a complementary role in contributing to a full critical understanding of the relation between subjectivity and digital culture
