PARA QUE FILÓSOFOS DA MÍDIA? A contribuição da filosofia aos estudos da mídia como tarefa da filosofia WHAT MEDIA PHILOSOPHERS FOR? The contribution of philosophy to the media studies as a task of philosophy (original) (raw)

Abstract

In this article, I discuss how contemporary philosophy has approached media technologies throughout the last decades, especially concerning the contributions from the so-called media philosophy. Upon a Heideggerian perspective, I establish the meaning of philosophy and its task, along with a differentiation between technicity and technology. Based on that premise, I suggest the hypothesis that through philosophical enquiry we can grasp a general meaning of the media phenomena, as Technomedia, beyond its multiple manifestations. I demonstrate this argument by briefly reviewing contemporary approaches, grouped in pragmatic-analytical, ethical and aesthetical approaches, respectively focused on technomediatic processes, discourses and structures. Via those illustrative cases, I aim to provide evidence as to how technomedia phenomenon constitutes itself as a legitimate and crucial philosophical task.
