Репрезентации тела и телесного в современной культуре

Abstract

The article reveals the features of the development of modern culture (After-post-Modern), based on the concept of a culture of Presence. An analysis of the oppositions of two cultures (a culture of Meaning and a culture of Presence) underlines the new vector of its development. The culture of Meaning is associated with the metaphysical tradition and a special understanding of the subject – constituting in its characteristics, that is, defining meanings and meanings. The author analyzes the origins of the emergence of this classical Philosophical tradition. It is opposed to the culture of Presence. Her special conceptual apparatus, a huge interest in communication and experience, which play the role of presence effects, emphasize the importance of the body and of the bodily, space and Cosmos, things and effects from their unexpected vision. The philosophy 20 century is actively involved in the discussion of the decline of modern culture and its metaphysical orientation. It became clear that the rationality of the Enlightenment no longer responds to the realities of the 21 century. Specialists in the humanities point to a new understanding of reason and, consequently, rationality. Everything connected with the epoch of modernity gives way to a new kind of culture, which is called After-post-Modern. This is a culture of Anti-Metaphysical direction with its categories, basic principles, and themes.
