I do not need to search for them and merely conjecture them as though they were veiled in obscurity or in the transcendent region beyond my horizon; I see them before me and connect them immediately with the consciousness of my existence.”

Przygotowuje rozprawę doktorską poświęconą kulturalnym zjawiskom związanych z głosem przed wynalezieniem fonografu. Ostatnio ukazał się jego artykuł w Hegel-Jahrbuch t. 19 (październik 2013) o głosie w filozofii Hegla w kontekście współczesnej teorii mediów. Kontakt: kostek.szydlowski@ gmail.com Konstanty Szydłowski: Jest Pan znany przede wszystkim jako archeolog mediów, a ściślej rzecz ujmując, jako an-archeolog mediów, ale jednocześnie jest Pan filmoznawcą, teoretykiem sztuki i jej związków z techniką. Pana pierwsza duża książka to O historii kamery wideo1. W związku z tym chciałbym zapytać, jak ma się sprawa wideo dzisiaj? Siegfried Zielinski: Czy mogę najpierw zrobić małą poprawkę? O historii kamery wideo nie była moją pierwszą ważną książką. Pierwszą, bardzo dla mnie ważną mono grafię, którą zresztą często dyskutowano, poświęciłem dziwnemu reżyserowi, za którym również w Polsce ciąg nie się ciemna sława, czyli Veitowi Harlanowi2. Przez wiele lat jeszcze jako student bardzo intensywnie zajmo wałem się filmem i kinem niemieckiego faszyzmu. Mo żemy do tego jeszcze wrócić w naszej rozmowie, jeśli Pan zechce. Chciałem wówczas dowiedzieć się, w jaki sposób artyści tworzyli takie filmy jak np. "Jud Süß". Moją pra cę magisterską poświęciłem powojennemu procesowi

In the history of civilization, he asserts, almost all wars have been of a territorial nature. Territories tend toward uniformity and universalization. He contrasts this worldview with reflections on oceanic thinking, which perceives bodies of water such as the Mediterranean as mediators between continents as well as between opposing worldviews, connecting and dividing at the same time. The sea, however, does not connect in order to homogenize but rather creates distance as an important prerequisite for true communication, thus linking multiplicity in all its variety as a viable alternative to universalism. The author moves on to scrutinize the cosmopolitan attitude as a paradox that on the one hand is oriented to the particular individual and on the other hand to an imaginary world community, that is, the universal. Taking this notion further to consider today’s world that is saturated with the imaginary and symbolic power of the Internet, the author proposes that cosmopolitanism could be understood as an adequate expression for the technologically advanced world community by its capability to strike a balance between the individual and the world as a whole, on one side, and synthetic identity generated by culture and technology, on the other. Nevertheless, deviating from all of these worldviews, the author concludes with a short reflection, inspired by two films, on an alternative to cosmopolitanism that he calls cosmoethics, which employs ethics as the guiding principle of thought and action and commits to a practice that stays in close contact not only with real but also with diverse realities.

Back to the Future in a Place Called America: Ancient Logics, Media and Technologies
Our media and current technologies are the result of a global form established by Western thought... more Our media and current technologies are the result of a global form established by Western thought. This thought, as in many parts of the world was imposed particularly in The New Spain in the discovery by Christoph Columbus in the late 16th century. Before the European contact, pre-America had a different way of thinking to the West and therefore a different development and understanding of concepts such as media, technology, time, body and space. On one hand the official history shows a pre-Columbian poor picture in technological developments, but on the other hand archaeological discoveries demonstrate an illuminated past with a more sustainable and different form of “hight technology.” To get closer to this form, we have to consider the worldview of pre-Columbian cultures as the central matrix for their technological developments. The aim of this research is to extend the pre-Columbian understanding so that we could approach archaeological discoveries and access to alternative fo...
