We are delighted to announce the upcoming seminar “Posthumanismo y Estética Digital del S. XXI”, to be delivered by our team member Miriam Fernández Santiago on December 17, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. in Aula Ana Pardo (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Zaragoza).
In this session, Miriam will delve into the cultural and philosophical transformations that define what has been called the Third Media Age (Li) or the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Schwab). These profound shifts, marked by both socioeconomic and technological change, resonate with the key tenets of Posthumanism—both in its critical and transhumanist strands.
As she explains, the variety of labels proposed for our current aesthetic framework—post-postmodernism, digimodernism, metamodernism, new sincerity, among others—attests to the difficulty of identifying a stable paradigm for the new millennium.
To address this, Miriam proposes the concept of the “Neoapolíneo”, an aesthetic paradigm that captures the ergodic (participatory) and synthetic dimensions of 21st-century digital culture. Her talk will highlight how this framework fits within agential materialism, drawing connections to the principles of quantum physics.
This promises to be a stimulating exploration of how posthuman philosophy and digital aesthetics intersect in contemporary cultural production. ✨
