Abstract

MASCARO, Luciano. Keys to re-think the Sorrounding World: An expansion of Heidegger’s notion of Werkwelt through G. Simondon’s concept of Technical Conjunct. Tópicos [online]. 2019, n.38, pp.114-133. ISSN 1666-485X.

This paper attempts to show that Heidegger’s notion of Technical Sorrounding World Werkwelt does not account for the complexity of today’s technical reality, since it is based upon a quasi-private and artisanal model of production. We suggest that, if we are to be consequent with Heidegger’s own proposals, and discover nature (as matter, energy and causalities) and the public world within the technical enviroment, the Werkwelt should be expanded until it matches a multi-sistemic network, in a welding of functional zones of a very diverse fashion, that is, a Technical Conjunct, a notion coined by G. Simondon.

Keywords : Technology; World of Work; Simondon; Heidegger; Technical Conjunct.
