Changes

Of course, I am not against the new. I am, indeed, almost tempted to [[repeat ]] Virginia Woolf. I [[think ]] it was in 1914 when she said it was as though eternal [[human ]] [[nature ]] had changed. To be a man no longer means the same [[thing]]. One should not, for example, underestimate the inter-[[subjective ]] [[social ]] impact of cyberspace. What we are witnessing today is a radical redefinition of what it means to be a human [[being]].

Take strange phenomena, like what we see on the internet. There are so-called 'cam' websites where [[people ]] expose to an anonymous [[public ]] their innermost secrets down to the most vulgar level. You have websites today — even I, with all my decadent tastes, was shocked to learn this — where people put a video-camera in their toilets, so you can observe [[them ]] defecating. This a totally new constellation. It is not private, but also it is also not public. It is not the old exhibitionist gesture.<ref>The One Measure of [[True ]] [[Love ]] Is: You Can Insult the [[Other]]</ref> ==References==<references/>   ==See Also==   [[Category:Culture]][[Category:Slavoj Žižek]]
