SCHIMBĂRI DE PRSPECTIVĂ ÎN PERCEPȚIA TIMPULUI ȘI A CREAȚIEI ÎN LUMEA CAPITALISTĂ

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze and explore the idea of the cancellation of the future, the causes, consequences and evolution of this phenomenon, by referring and resorting mostly on the perspectives and problematizations offered by two authors - Franco Berardi Bifo and Mark Fisher. The central idea is that at the cultural level we have reached an impasse in proposing, producing or creating new cultural forms, original aesthetics, and alternatives regarding social-economic and even political organization. The vision of what the future looks like, or what we consider to be new or futuristic, are already established cultural forms (films, music, fashion, music videos, literature, etc.) which are recycled and put into repetitive loops and cycles. These phenomena confront us with a change and a symptom of our own condition, in this sense the cancellation of the future is actually the effect of a change and metamorphosis in the collective perception and experience of time, an effect that manifests itself at the level of the production and consumption of culture. The cause of this transformation is the extent and speed with which capitalism, starting from the XX century and until now, has managed to set the parameters of what we call the reality of the everyday life.
