Being and Technology

For the first class, “Being and Technology,” we are looking into technological developments that have started to explicitly interfere with human nature. How do these technologies influence and affect our ideas of self, community and society? What constitutes human nature if the self is avatarized? How do we love in between screens? How do we form solidarities? If we can make robots that can make poetry and art on their own, what becomes of human creativity? How do technologies rewrite human behavior and the way we think? This course examines how technology is rewiring human nature and social relations. Do we embrace machines or resist change?
