Kybernetik Und Gespenster. überlegungen Zu Literatur Und Gesellschaft. by Italo Calvino

Überlegungen zu Literatur und Gesellschaft

A probing blend of cultural criticism and literary reflection that examines how emerging systems thinking and cybernetic models reshape social institutions, human relationships, and the act of storytelling, while haunting residues of myth, memory and ‘ghosts’ persist in private and collective life; the work argues that literature has a crucial role in mediating between mechanistic, technocratic visions and the irreducible aspects of experience, urging new narrative forms that can register both informational order and emotional ambiguity, and warning against the dehumanizing tendencies of reducing people to nodes in a network.
