Digital [R]evolution: Psychic presence in the virtual era
Victor Krebs (Pontifical Catholic University of Peru)

5.30-7.00 pm

Paper available here.
 
The matter that occupies me in this presentation is the need to start understanding the transformations that we are experiencing in our intercourse with the digital as an evolutionary step in human consciousness.  I focus specifically on the digital image, to explore both what it offers us to counteract the poisonous side of the technological pharmakon and how it is changing the nature of communication. My overarching concern is how to care for the human psyche in our present [r]evolutionary era.
