A tecnoreligião e o sujeito pneumáticono imaginário da cibercultura
Palavras-chave
This article offers a preliminary analisys of the metaphor of the “angel of cyberspace”, one of the most popular tropes of contemporary discourses on cyberculture. By comparing the cybernaut to an angel that travels trough cyberspace empyreum, authors such as Lévy and Benedikt contribute to mystify the “spiritual” potentiality of new technologies. In so doing, they dismiss the issue of technical materiality, in an attempt to affirm the sublime character of contemporary digital technologies. Key-words
