Abstract:
|
This essay is divided into two parts. Part I presents a picture of the way that technology, especially innovations in information and bio-technology, has eroded the capacity of democratic citizens to participate responsibly in public life. Part II presents a limited response to this situation, what I have called elsewhere cultural re-enactment. Cultural re-enactments bear some resemblance to the simulations and cyborgs that epitomize today's genetic engineering technologies and that inure many citizens to the mass violence that occurs in their name. However, they also create liminal public spaces in which critical and constructive democratic discussion and compromise may take shape along more cosmopolitan lines. |
