Abstract (en)

Examines three moments that represent significant shifts in discourses on the subject, the cultural other, and technology: the mid-1930s (when Lacan began work on the formation of the subject and the mirror stage, Lévi-Strauss was doing the fieldwork that revealed the mythological sophistication of the "savage mind," and Walter Benjamin was about to publish The work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction), mid-60s (advent of postmodernism, when the death of the subject was detailed by Foucault and others, the anthropological other began to talk back, and the penetration of media into psychic structures and social relations had reached a new level), and mid-90s; examines the status and present condition of postmodernism.
