The Media Poet

Wolfgang Schirmacher

0/5 ( ratings)

EXISTENCE AS ITS OWN ESSENCE IS NOTHING OTHER THAN THE FREEDOM OF BEING. Jean-Luc Nancy Being of a media culture, one must assume that "we" are critically at stake. Just as the exigency of being of a media culture demands for being to strengthen the experience of community, we must welcome the interruption of the other to revitalize a true sense of 'being-with' as the very essence of Being. Re-articulating Nancy's essential notion of being as "being-with," the invitation of the media poet addresses the current contingencies of Being of a media culture where the work of a techno-capitalistic society must be monitored in relationship to its ever-approaching potential 'speed' limit. The media poet comes as a promise of true existence-it gives weigh to the worlding of Being as a particular balance of pain, intimacy, and measure and it tends to the wound of "weak love" . The media poet gives measure to 'love' as a human ethics. Encouraging a new way of thinking and acting of a media culture-accentuating being's "leap into media" as the most profound fulfillment of one's own "artificial life" -together, the living technique of the media poet and language technique of media poetics welcomes an ethics and responsibilities to come with "kind heart" and "unconditional hospitality" . Resistance must come. And, we must recognize that the exact measure of being happens poetically. The media poet dares a poetic revolution. ----about the author Michelle Cartier is a media poet and community activist. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film from Humboldt State University and a PhD in Media and Communication from the European Graduate School. She is the Co-Founder of DJ Gleaner y Los Media Poets, a local artist collective and creative mentorship project based in Arcata, California.
