Article: On (Techno-)Imagination, Schemata and Media – Preliminary Remarks
Abstract
The text deals with the connection between imagination and media by focusing on the notion of 'techno-imagination'. The problem of the 'schema' is identified as the connecting element between classical theories of imagination and media theory. In an essayistic passage through arguments by Immanuel Kant, Charles S. Peirce, and Cornelius Castoriadis, three different approaches to the relationship between imagination and schema are discussed and then related to Vilém Flusser's notion of techno-imagination. The text concludes with an exposition of further research questions. It is argued that for a contemporary theory of 'media imagination', the relationship between the constitution of semiotic representation and computer-based media-synthetization needs to be analyzed.
