đ Constantin von Barloewen im GesprĂ€ch mit Stefan Fuchs. Der in Deutschland aufgewachsene argentinische Anthropole und Kulturwissenschaftler analysiert nach den AnschlĂ€gen des 11. Septembers 2001 auf die Twin Towers in New York die Gefahren des globalisierten, digitalen Kapitalismus. In dem Verlust der globalen kulturellen Vielfalt angetrieben von totaler Verwertbarkeit aller Lebens- und Erfahrungsbereiche verirgt sich faschistische Gleichschaltung. Die Vernichtung der Menschheit kommt nicht mit dem lauten Knall einer Atombombe daher, sondern auf leisen Sohlen als schrittweise Enteignung jeglicher IndividualitĂ€ten. Es ist der globale Ăbergang vom Zeitalter der AufklĂ€rung zum Zeitalter des Konsums.
/đ Constantin von Barloewen in conversation with Stefan Fuchs. The Argentine anthropologist and cultural studies scholar, who grew up in Germany, analyses the dangers of globalised, digital capitalism in the wake of the attacks of 11 September 2001 on the Twin Towers in New York. Fascist conformity is taking hold amidst the loss of global cultural diversity, driven by the total commodification of all areas of life and experience. The destruction of humanity does not come with the loud bang of an atomic bomb, but creeps in on tiptoe as the gradual dispossession of all individuality. It is the global transition from the Age of Enlightenment to the Age of Consumption.
