Digital Death: una morte postumana?

Articolo
Data di Pubblicazione:
2017
Abstract:
This paper analyzes the concept of Digital Death as related to post-humanism. In the first part, the article highlights the features of the dialectic between life and death and how said dialectic is changed by the spread of digital culture. In the second part, it dwells on some digital devices aimed at dissociating electronic identity from biological existence, so as to reach a form of immortality. In opposition to these devices, we find social networks, with their intersubjective nature that, as it updates the philosophical concept of Geisterwelt, brings death back at the core of life. In the third and last part, the paper compares digital devices and social networks, underlining the difference between those who want to remove death from life and those who want to preserve the educational role of death in our life.
