Politics of Representation: An Essay in the Phenomenology of Expiration or Theory in the Era of Sophisticated Mindlessness
Alexander H Zistakis
This book is about the already present supremacy of technology in the contemporary world. As we speak, the mind is being substituted by thinking machines. Thinking is increasingly becoming automatised and mechanised, and technology is taking over all the traditionally human and humanistic realms of life and action. This volume employs the discursive devices and techniques already present in the second volume, so the text represents a combination of descriptive, interpretative, argumentative, programmatic, assertive, explanatory and declarative discourses. It also includes the combination of fragmentary, narrative, academic and essayistic styles and registers. The use of different writing styles, registers and forms aims at exemplifying the chaos and disorder of the present moment through the discourse itself.
