FORMATION OF IDENTITY IN THE HYPERCULTURAL SCENARIO: CORPOREITY AND PHILOSOPHY

ABSTRACT:

In this article, a philosophical repertoire is reconstructed in order to face problems related to important current transformations in the scope of culture and education, focusing more specifically on the issue of the formation of identities within the scope of hyperculture in its relation to the dimension of corporeity. From the point of view of the methodological path, in the first place, the notions of and the relations between globalization, cyberspace and hyperculture are outlined; in a second step, a new notion of identity linked to the change of paradigms and a contribution to the studies of corporeality is philosophically grounded. As a conclusion, a synthesis and a philosophical orientation related to human formation in times of hypercultural expansion are exposed, while educational possibilities for the formation of identity are alluded in line with a new paradigm of understanding reality and human body in its wholeness and connection, which emerges, in part, from the results of modern physical science, but which, on the other hand, does not fail to find roots in ancient forms of wisdom.
