Plural figures of the subject in accelerated and digitized contemporary worlds

What:
Panel

10:45 AM, Friday 22 May 2020 (2 hours)
How:

What are the contemporary forms of modernity and the new figures of the subject that flow from them? How can we work towards "the good life" for all in the face of the injunctions that weigh on the individual and the temporal alienation that weakens his capacity to be part of both the link and the distance between past, present and future? How do new social media and, more generally, new technologies contribute to the emergence of plural figures of the subject in his self-narration? Are the physical, emotional, spatial and environmental dimensions of the human experience, and the disparities between East and West, North and South, neglected or overlooked? This panel aims to bring together the philosophical, anthropological, sociological, psychological and ecological perspectives that shed light on the construction of the multiple figures of the subject and to debate the socio-political issues underlying the radical transformation of contemporary worlds in order to identify the contribution of life history and narrative approaches as well as that of their practitioners to this transformation.
