Subject: [Online Reading] The Body is Back: Communication in
Cyberspace
Greetings Humanist scholars,
Hi, Here is a thesis sounds great, which I thought --might interest you
--is available online. The thesis constitutes several chapters, such
as "A Location Called Cyberspace: necessity of Implement, Implaced in
Cyberspace, Sensing the Phenomenon of Cyberspace, Anchorage in Virtual
Spaces"; "A Monad in Cyberspace: The Location of the Monadic Self, The
Monad in Cyberspace, The Expression of the Monad in Cyberspace"; "A Body
of Memory: Functionality of Memory, Memory Change, On the Survival of
Images, The Momentum of Memory"; "The Body of Cyberspace: Unity and
Materiality, Open Topology, Alter Ego, The Phenomenon: 'Body in
Cyberspace', Being-in-Cyberspace"..then Conclusions and Bibliography.
The Body of Cyberspace, considered as an open topology, as an alter ego,
or as a phenomenon is then taken under consideration as a moment of Dasein
as a body being-in-the-world-of-cyberspace with the consequences that it
entails. The thesis also expressed the views, the Body is interaction with
the digital environment, with some quotes, "Give me a place to stand and
I'll move the world of Archimede", "..the virtual is the foundation of the
actual.. due to Gilles Deleuz", and On *Unity and Materiality* Maurice
Merleau-Ponty has expressed "..There is, therefore, another subject
beneath me, for whom a world exists before I am here, and who marks out my
place in it. This captive or natural subject is my body.." and Augustin's
view "..if you remember who you are, you are somebody.."
