Gesture and memory

under or beyond support?

Abstract

Understanding how a response to an appeal is structured is not an easy task. Tradition established a metaphysics, dogmatics and proper rites for the action to be perfect, but can we say the same about the Digital Age and about Graffiti? The diagnoses of Post-Modernity philosophers speak of the loss of communion, point to an automatism and a revitalization of the Self through the force of notification. I support the hypothesis that memory is at the base of a performative gesture, typical of the digital, softening the fulfillment through a tradition, which has its own nuances.
