Fantasía. De lo espiritual a lo genital.

Abstract

The human being has been in search of his individuality since time immemorial. The Cynics (400 BC) proclaimed that in order to achieve wisdom and full freedom of being, it was necessary to get rid of material things. Then, in the Modern Age, there was a transition from a long period of Theocentrism towards an encounter of the being with his own essence (Anthropocentrism). But already in the Industrial Revolution all these scopes were distorted when people were replaced by machines. Today, in the first part of the 21st century, we experience more than ever how human beings have been psychologically manipulated by multinational commerce by giving us ideal but unattainable lives, grounded in obsolescent consumerism and plunging us into constant states of depression and emotional instability.
