Technisch symbolisiert der Mensch. Il simbolismo umano fra tecnica, natura e cultura

  • Luigi Laino Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II

Abstract

In this paper, I aim to present symbolism, through the lens of technology and language, as the natural condition of human beings. After a brief introduction, in the second section, I will show how technology and language depart from primates’ manipulations and gestures to overcome the pressure of the environment and the world of expression in human beings. Therefore, I will define meta-environmentality as the distinctive feature of the human condition. In the third section, I will address the rise of language from its mutual coexistence with motricity and explain how meta-environmentality leads to exteriorization. Finally, I will discuss Facchini’s multi-layered scale of symbolic degrees as a possible theoretical framework for my endeavour.

Keywords: Culture, Meta-Environmentality, Nature, Symbolism, Technology
