Philosophy of Zen Buddhism
The Burnout Society
Caras de la muerte
Good Entertainment
A philosopher considers entertainment, in all its totalizing variety—infotainment, edutainment, servotainment—and traces the notion through Kant, Zen Buddhism, Heidegger, Kafka, and Rauschenberg. In Good Entertainment, Byung-Chul Han examines the notion of entertainment—its contemporary ubiquity, and its philosophical genealogy. Entertainment today, in all its totalizing variety, has an apparently infinite capacity for incorporation: infotainment…

Topology of Violence
L'hypercapitalisme de la transparence
Au XVIII e siècle, Jeremy Bentham avait imaginé un dispositif carcéral où les détenus seraient surveillés par un gardien omni-voyant. Dans le panoptique digital, nous ne sommes plus de simples détenus, mais participons activement à son façonnement. Personne ne semble s'en émouvoir outre mesure. Il n'y a pas si longtemps encore, en Allemagne les gens montaient sur les barricades contre le recensement démographique d'État : cette époque semble bien…
In the Swarm
A prominent German thinker argues that—contrary to “Twitter Revolution” cheerleading—digital communication is destroying political discourse and political action. The shitstorm represents an authentic phenomenon of digital communication. —from In the Swarm Digital communication and social media have taken over our lives. In this contrarian reflection on digitized life, Byung-Chul Han counters the cheerleaders for Twitter revolutions and Facebook …
Shanzhai
Tracing the thread of "decreation" in Chinese thought, from constantly changing classical masterpieces to fake cell phones that are better than the original.Shanzhai is a Chinese neologism that means "fake," originally coined to describe knock-off cell phones marketed under such names as Nokir and Samsing. These cell phones were not crude forgeries but multifunctional, stylish, and as good as or better than the originals. Shanzhai has since sprea…

The Transparency Society
El aroma del tiempo
Byung-Chul Han reflexiona en este ensayo sobre la crisis temporal contemporanea, en dialogo con Nietzsche y Heidegger. La fugacidad de cada instante y la ausencia de un ritmo que de un sentido a la vida y a la muerte, nos situa ante un nuevo escenario temporal, que ya ha dejado atras la nocion del tiempo como narracion. Segun Byung-Chul Han, no estamos ante una aceleracion del tiempo, sino ante la atomizacion y dispersion temporal —a la que llama…
The Burnout Society
Our competitive, service-oriented societies are taking a toll on the late-modern individual. Rather than improving life, multitasking, "user-friendly" technology, and the culture of convenience are producing disorders that range from depression to attention deficit disorder to borderline personality disorder. Byung-Chul Han interprets the spreading malaise as an inability to manage negative experiences in an age characterized by excessive positiv…
Psicopolítica
Em 'Psicopolítica', Byung-Chul Han analisa as novas formas de poder que emergem na sociedade digital do século XXI. Ele argumenta que o neoliberalismo, por meio da exploração da liberdade individual e da tecnologia digital, estabelece uma forma de dominação mais sutil e eficaz que a repressão tradicional. Ao invés de proibir e reprimir, o sistema psicopolítico incita e seduz, explorando o desejo de comunicação, a busca por prazer e a necessidade …
Im Schwarm
Duft der Zeit
Die heutige Zeitkrise hängt nicht zuletzt mit der Verabsolutierung der vita activa zusammen. Sie führt zu einem Imperativ der Arbeit, der den Menschen zu einem arbeitenden Tier (animal laborans) degradiert. Die Hyperaktivität des Alltags nimmt dem menschlichen Leben jegliche Kraft zum Verweilen und zur Kontemplation. Dadurch wird die Erfahrung erfüllter Zeit unmöglich. Notwendig für die Überwindung der heutigen Zeitkrise sind die Revitalisierung …
