Objective
those weeks are full of partial, in which one does not know where to start studying. In which one finds any excuse to get distracted. And one of those excuses, I'm noticing that most returned to me, is writing for this lugarsucho. But in a fit of insipidness thought that the best option was to combine these activdades: ok if I have wanted to write, write about the literature I have for part of Wednesday. And that's how I came to this letter of Jose Pablo Feinman, the philosopher called by some the Feinmann good and by others, the less bad Feinmann.
His article is called "the colonization of subjectivity." As had parts that did not coincide entirely with his eyes, I decided to put only the passages that matched, and I have no time or desire to justify the reasons for my disagreement with those parts suppressed. But the fact is that what is below, with its nuances, it is very interesting and in the field of communication.
Bue, that said, I leave the article and feel cornered five minutes what it is to study social communication vague sleeve. Health (?)
colonization of subjectivity
will need (Such as "precision" and "necesariedad") long with the example of the taxi drivers. Many take
taxis in Buenos Aires. For some time believed they received there (as a service "extra") certain information about "what people think." The taxi, sounding board, gave the driver the enviable status of being a carrier of what "is", not "the people's voice", but at least the voice of all those argentimedios able to afford a trip by taxi. This was possible because the driver said he talked with his passengers. Certain climate of "wisdom" received one and, sometimes, believe it, sometimes not. This is no longer the case. Communicational power colonized subjectivity of taxi drivers. Now, all or nearly all, the passenger reported "their" opinions rather than tell what "is said." This loquacity tachero this feathering almost militant, emerged with one of the many maneuvers of Menem, seized a huge range of power and (in this world communication) is what matters most "hear" that "what to hear." So taxi drivers overwhelmingly listen to that radio has qualified herself with the highest scores ten.
The trip by taxi, Consequently, it has become terribly boring. One goes up, said good afternoon or good day or whatever and the taxi driver starts talking. No sooner said the first two words, you already know all the others will say. It is he who speaks, is Radio Diez. The man believed to express their ideas, but expresses the ideas of others. Cree who speak a language, but it's another language (or, say, the language of another) that speaks for itself. One can take this as a game and ask specific things, perhaps too precise. The answer will be that you already know. No taxi driver speaks, speaks Mr. Hadad. Mr. Hadad does not talk, talk, Mr. Menem. Mr. Menem does not speak, speak their powerful allies and financiers. A triumph of communicational power. Have made this public servant has become more talkative than ever and also express now, militantly, "his" own ideas, as the triumph of the power communication has been to make him believe that what he says is what he says, the ideas expressed are "his" ideas, that subjectivity belongs and even convictions is inhabited by strong, stronger than he had in his life. No speech is spoken. It has no subjectivity, they've colonized, it expropriated and put one that speaks for itself. However, it is believed freer than ever and even has convictions that allow you to ask for death or social expulsion of "undesirable" picketers, criminals, Latin American immigrants. It would be bad if this will happen only to taxi drivers. It happens to "everyone." Is the new project of global domination: colonizing consciences, bring subjectivity.
The communications revolution is to remove the Earth's capacity for denial, differentiation. Consolidate the whole empire. The globalization of the third millennium. In chaining, not only bodies but the subjects. Hold the subjects. Their main weapons are not tanks or missiles, or neutrons. Is television. Cinema. Is journalism. The magazines. Radios. Cable channels. And, formidably, the Internet, where some thought, very naively or committed in bad faith, which was to settle the "transparent society" Gianni Vattimo proclaiming the early nineties, late eighties. Internet is today the realm of junk goods, merchandise stultifying of compulsive buying and selling goods and sex-, sex porn. It is becoming more (the speed of these times is the property and also the timing degradation) and each time it will be more obscene.
The power of communication can think is that all "the same." Like the Power. By submitting my subjectivity, Power eliminates my projects, my own future, which would have wanted to do with my life. My chances are the Other, the Branch, which come from outside me. No longer I who decide, I decided. Heidegger writes: "We enjoy and enjoy and be enjoyed, read, see and judge about literature and art as seen and judged, it is 'sublevante' what is sublevante."
Power communication is advertising again and again advertised his wares and their ideas fetish. Makes them seductive. Entertain us. Entertaining us kill our conscience. It's a clever enemy, brilliant. Now, the "one" can answer all with ease. Power gives the answers. The powerful Power is giving the answers. In doing so eliminates the possibility of questions. And above all, the fundamental question: "Is it fair that Power is the Power? Is it just society's Power? "And again:" What I think 'I' of all this? "Here asomaría and rebellion. Stifle the emergence of these states deconciencia is the task of communication in both colonization and dimming.
is, in short, to recover the subjectivity. From launch to other subjectivities. To conquer the intersubjective and the constituent power of free minds. But it's hard. The bourgeois revolution, the new, more recently, communications, colonizing consciences, submitting. We riddled by images, phrases, ideas, arguments that are not ours. By a bumbling sexism, mercantilist. As fashion. On the distant world illusory, unattainable ideal models of parades waste. For Hollywood and the explosions and special effects. With cheap propaganda. That TV show "open" to not know what, the gruesomeness, the stupid jokes, the ham "green" the heroines of the infinite ordinary silicone, National Empire ass suffocating.
is, well, time for critical thinking. This is simply to point out that this world is an abomination and has no rescue. It is a civilizational struggle. A reconquest of consciousness of man and woman. The redemption of the feminine, more rogue capitalist commodity. A woman is not an ass, gentlemen. It is infinitely more than that. The outfits of the new millennium, lolitas cover, stars working over the buttocks to the speech or the dramatic expressiveness, women offend, and offend men to present as primary, monkeys idiots barely able to be attracted by a traserito of gym and not the endless, complex, sublime melancholy facets of the sex that is not ours and we understand that passion, often for love, nothing less. "The task of the philosopher as a critical analyst of our world is more and more important (...) Perhaps the most important goal today is to discover what we are, but to reject it. " The phrase "formidable" is Michel Foucault and there where it says "philosopher" put "man of our time." And Sartre said, famously, much like "You are what you do with what they did to him." Well, it may then take longer. For what do all the time with us is rubbish. Of us depends on us otherwise.
