No full textFinal Death of the Author: Creativity in the Age of Information Society
Get PDFPretpostavimo da je kreativnost rezultat unutarnjeg dijaloga kreativnog pojedinca (autora) iz kojega nastaje nova informacija. No kako onda razumjeti kreativnost danas, kada je naša individualna svijest proširena elektronskim medijima i telemetrijski uključena u “globalni mozak”? Sveprisutnost informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije omogućuje nam da stvaramo nove informacije brže negoli ikad prije i pohranjujemo ih u forme umjetne memorije, u koje može svatko ući. S obzirom na to čini se da je pojam autorstva prevladan, a unutarnji dijalog zamijenjen intersubjektivnim dijalogom. Držeći se teorije medija Viléma Flussera i Marshalla McLuhana, problematiziram novu paradigmu kreativnosti kakva se razvija u dobu informacijske tehnologije.If we assume that creativity is a result of the inner dialogue of creative individual (author), during which he creates an improbable combination of elements (i.e. new information), how can we comprehend creativity today, after we technologically extended our individual consciousness and connected it into a “global brain” via telematics? Prevalence of information and communications technology enables us to create more new information than ever, and allows us to store it in artificial memory, where it could be reused by almost anyone. In the age of ICT, author seems to be superfluous and the inner dialogue has been replaced by interpersonal dialogue. Taken into consideration Vilém Flusser’s and Marshall McLuhan’s theory of media, I will try to problematize new paradigm of creativity, as it is disclosing in information society

BIOgrafia mandragory — o korporealności kobiety-rośliny
No full textMandragora is a hallucinogenic plant that has kindled people’s imaginations since the dawn of time. Its human-like root has become the subject of medical inquiry. This plant was also seen as a symbol of the occult. In an illustration of Abraham Bosse dated around 1650, the mandrake was depicted as a naked, headless woman. A similar image can be found in the series of illustrations (1946–1947) called Femme Maison by French artist Louise Bourgeois. In this article, while looking for similarities between these illustrations, the author will try to understand the corporeality and agency of the mandrake as a human-non-human hybrid. Using the tools of the new materialism, the author traces how the combined biological and cultural understanding of the mandrake can contribute to the affirmative view of its entangled presence in the world.Mandragora to halucynogenna roślina, która rozpalała wyobraźnię ludzi właściwie od zarania dziejów. Jej przypominający nieco sylwetkę człowieka korzeń stał się obiektem dociekań medyków, roślina ta była także postrzegana jako symbol okultyzmu. Na ilustracji Abrahama Bossego, datowanej około 1650 roku, mandragorę przedstawiono jako nagą, bezgłową kobietę. Podobny wizerunek można odnaleźć w powstałym w latach 1946–1947 cyklu Femme Maison francuskiej artystki Louise Bourgeois. W tym artykule, poszukując podobieństw między wspomnianymi ilustracjami, autorka stara się zrozumieć korporealność i sprawczość mandragory jako ludzko-nie-ludzkiej hybrydy. Używając narzędzi nowego materializmu, śledzi, jak splecione wzajemnie biologiczne i kulturowe rozumienie mandragory może przyczyniać się do afirmatywnego ujęcia jej uwikłanej obecności w świecie
