Time and Memory Amid Human-media Symbiosis:On Stiegler's Media Philosophy and Its"Différance"in Digital Intelligence Age
Bernard Stiegler,a French philosopher of technology,gives priority to media function of"memorization"and its relative socio-cultural effects.Getting rid of the binary position and anthropocentrism in traditional media research,he emphasizes that people and media invented and supplemented each other,believing that media is a symbiotic entity with humans.Underpinned by such a media perspective,he explores the crucial issues of time and memory for humans.Stiegler combines human perception with media technology,believing that time does not exist without the interaction between human and media technology.Under the mutual influence of human and media,humans can perceive"internal time"and"external time",and mediated synchronicity and real-time become possible;He believes that media technology can help people break through physiological limitations and memorize the past in detail.The memorization formed by media are an"inorganic"process,but after being retrieved and recalled by humans living in the present,it will possess the characteristics of"organic".The"tertiary retention"generated by human-media interaction not only has an impact on individuals,but also has profound social and cultural significance.Although Stiegler's discussion has flaws,his media philosophy still holds enlightening and reflective significance for human memory in digital and intelligent era.
