To be is not to inhabit: Yuri M. Lotman's Ulysses and his transhumanist context

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This essay contextualizes the Dantean figure of Ulysses, as conceived by Yuri M. Lotman, and draws this key figure of modernity into a network of mutually interconnected discourses: primarily transhumanist visions of the human future in space, which nevertheless arise from the specifically modern epistemic dimension of &quot;restlessness,&quot; and intertwine with post-war astronautics, cyborg visions of human re-engineering, and revolutionary considerations of speculative realism. The key is Lotman&apos;s emphasis on Ulysses as a figure of &quot;energy of thought&quot;; in this regard, the essay shows how the original poetic &quot;decision,&quot; embodied by the Ulysses figure, advocates implicit cruelty in the name of the future (treated as an inevitable fate), and how this decision generates a logical and progressively unfolding series of &quot;inhuman&quot; images of man situated in the universe as an event of saturation of matter with merciless intelligence.
