Description
Byung-Chul Han explores the impact of globalization on cultural expression, revealing how cultural forms have become increasingly disconnected from their origins and blended together in a hyperculture of intense hybridization. This phenomenon is reflected in the way we experience and consume culture, with the lines between indigenous and foreign, near and far, becoming increasingly blurred. In this thought-provoking work, Han examines the characteristics of our contemporary hyperculture, drawing on the ideas of thinkers such as Hegel, Heidegger, Bauman, and Bhabha. He poses an important question: should we welcome the human of the future as a hypercultural tourist, or should we strive for a different way of being in the world?
