Discussing ¡§Death¡¨ in the Internet World from the Perspective of Martin Heidegger¡¦s Structure of Dasein

Feng, Yu-han 11 September 2012 (has links)
"Death" means that we cannot continue to exist for ever, that we shall, one day, loose the possibility of being. For this reason, the fact that we are mortal beings is very significant for our mode of being itself. However, the "death" in the Internet World seems not to have the same importance for Internet users. Because an Internet ID may be registered anytime and many times again, thus the situation is different here. In Martin Heidegger¡¦s Sein und Zeit the notion of ¡§Sein zum Tode" pinpoints a very important structure of Dasein. Yet if there is no real death in the Internet world, then may we possibly get rid of the very fundamental situation of "Sein zum Tode"? After all, does ¡§death¡¨ in the Internet World contradict the existential structure of "Sein zum Tode", or does this phenomenon just prove our "Sein zum Tode" in another way? This is the main question this essay wants to cope with.

No postmodernist goes to heaven : En analys av döden som tematik i tre samtida konstverk

Bäckman Sanne, Alva January 2023 (has links)
Art history is riddled with existential questions hiding just beneath the surface of the subject matter, that is, the physical objects being created. This is true for the centuries-old, as well as the contemporary, and picking apart the materiality of works of art can reveal the value of using art as a medium to understand and work through the concept of death in relation to our own human existence. This paper constitutes a thorough, material analysis of three works of art created (or finished) in the last 20 years, specifically focused on the topic of death. The works examined are Roman Opalka’s conceptual lifetime project 1 to Infinity, Morgan Quaintance’s video artwork Efforts of Nature and El Anatsui’s site-specific sculpture Fresh and Fading Memories in Venice, Italy. As well as materiality, contextual aspects of the works are considered for this analysis, this to help make concrete and coherent the narratives and stories that make up the works themselves. These narratives are what this paper is aiming to decipher.
