The Interface: Man Versus Machine
Abstract
Lubiak assumes that defining the scope of the term „interface” is key for contemporary culture because it sets relations between man and a machine. Lubiak’s text is a critical analysis of the issues approached by such scholars as La Mettrie, Descombes, Wilden and Žižek and, most of all, Michael Heim. Lubiak says that to set these relations in opposition is misleading. Meanwhile, the opposition should be replaced with the difference. The invention and development of computer, which is the perfect expression of Western logocentrism, as a result deconstructs (in Derrida’s sense) assumptions of this logocentrism. The concept of writing (recording) is radically expanded. In this sense, the interface unites what is mechanistic in man with what is anthropomorphic in a machine.
