Opis

"The time is out of joint." This famous line from William Shakespeare's Hamlet helps to describe the impression of de-centering, of deconstruction, which we currently live and experience. This phenomenon is caused by various factors and while it is happening worldwide, partly as a result of globalization itself, it is perceived in different ways in the various cultures and countries of the world. We find ourselves in front of an hybrid individual, fruit of diverse cultures blending. The new means of communication and social organization that characterize our times, to such a large extent, that we may possibly consider finding ourselves at the dawn of a new subject, a bearer of transformations, the extent of which is difficult to measure. In a world which is dominated by new ways of communication, virtual space, technology that subverts the perception of the body, by cyborg as new hybridization post-human, by the cult of the body and youth, by the new definitions of sexuality, the new organisations of the family, by the desire to procreate whatever it takes, all that tell us about an overflowing of the subject but "dislocated" fragmented and far from its original identity.
