The End of CyberPunk

The Net forgot Utopia

absorbed as it is

in the common world Distopia.

The fallacy of the false dilemma

Either with me or against me,

that is the time of fallacies.

Whether Virus or War,

or Terror

minds switch contents,

what about structures?

In the falling of dark ages the nightmares dress as black or white armies.

The Hegelian Consciousness

The eternal spiral from-to subject,

objectived subject,

and re-subjectivation of newly objectived subject.

Imagining Futures – A postcolonial Critique to Teleology

The lecture is meant to show how teleological fallacy is quite widespread and embedded in our common language especially in a context of social referring to the Others. It is underlined how its conception drives the shaping of the inter-cultural relations and the policy making.

Its emerging is analysed in relation to the construction of the identity with a particular emphasis on modernity as a western constructed self-consciousness. Hegel‘s philosophy is considered as a major reference.

Some efforts are finally dedicated to an alternative paradigm of temporality based on the post-colonial deconstruction of the universal historicism and toward a bottom up and constructed arrow of time by trajectories and fluctuations. Studies on complexity are taken in consideration.

Recent Balkan history, European Union and anthropological studies serve as main examples.
