Hello everyone!
Critics of the technological society in the literature Sixties
(Men, bodies, tools, machinery)
I'm interested in the critique of technological society in the work of Volponi, who has points in common with the thought of the Frankfurt School (Horkheimer and Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment, for A summary of Carla Fabiani see http://www.ilgiardinodeipensieri.com/storiafil/fabiani3.htm ).
technological society has produced, alongside economic development, Holocaust and the atomic bomb. According to Elsa Morante, "our bomb is the flower, which is the natural expression of our contemporary society" and the same reasoning can be found in Volponi. For Adorno and Horkheimer, the scientific process at the base of the Enlightenment itself contains a destructive element. The reason that manifests itself in the sciences is instrumental, and precisely because of his alleged 'neutrality' can also be applied to that which contradicts the morals and values \u200b\u200bgained from Enlightenment reason. A and H do not see any way out of this situation, but we find a solution Volponi "symbolic" that is to re-evaluate the other terms of our title: men and bodies (and the materiality of life in general is opposed to reason "abstract"), then see a conflict between men and machines, and even to speak of the humiliation of staff in the eighties.
