If the medium is the message as McLuhan said, the change in the means of communication from letter to image should influence our way of experiencing the world and the forms of social structure. While image is predominantly geared to seeing, letter is more closely related to the reading of signs whose meaning is revealed only to those who are initiated into the symbolic. The being of the letter is constituted by the authority of the symbolic. It follows that if the symbolic authority disintegrates, the letter is bared of its meaning and is seen as just material images. This is true with human bodies. Body can be read or can be seen. Body is symbolic or imaginary, and is experienced imaginariiy if the symbolic declines. This paper argues that body has become more visible than before since the advent of visual culture. That explains why old people, who were once identified with authority, now begin to identify themselves with visible material body, attempting to beautify it so that it looks younger and more handsome. In order to explain textually such a changing orientation toward body, the paper analyzes Thomas Mann's Death in Venice.
Abstract
If the medium is the message as McLuhan said, the change in the means of communication from letter to image should influence our way of experiencing the world and the forms of social structure. While image is predominantly geared to seeing, letter is more closely related to the reading of signs whose meaning is revealed only to those who are initiated into the symbolic. The being of the letter is constituted by the authority of the symbolic. It follows that if the symbolic authority disintegrates, the letter is bared of its meaning and is seen as just material images. This is true with human bodies. Body can be read or can be seen. Body is symbolic or imaginary, and is experienced imaginariiy if the symbolic declines. This paper argues that body has become more visible than before since the advent of visual culture. That explains why old people, who were once identified with authority, now begin to identify themselves with visible material body, attempting to beautify it so that it looks younger and more handsome. In order to explain textually such a changing orientation toward body, the paper analyzes Thomas Mann's Death in Venice.
