Technology, Experience, Memory, Humanism, Post humanismAbstract
The article investigates the structuration of a new culture of memory which inverts the
metaphysical logic which has informed the understanding of the relation between technology and
experience in the social sciences. With recent developments in information and life technologies,
the conception of the human body as something which is constituted on the margin of the
technological apparatus has declined in credibility. This way, one of the principal projects of
western metaphysics, the structuration of a field of experience and knowledge free of technical
supports, is thwarted in its technophobic humanism. Starting from an appreciation of the short
story “Memento mori”, of Jonathan Nolan, and the film Memento, by Christopher Nolan, I
analyze the contemporary relation between memory and writing, body and archive. The objective
is to perceive the tensions and oscillations implicit in the attempt to establish an intentionally post
human and post-organic mnemotechnic.
