Umberto Eco on Preserving Memory
The article analyzes Umberto Eco's critique of the "liquid" society in the modern age, where humans lose stability and meaning due to the fluidity of identity and information. It explains that this society is characterized by the rapid flow of news and images, with truth turning into a fleeting emotional reaction, accompanied by the collapse of rigid structures such as families and ideologies. Eco also criticizes the trivialization of knowledge and the widespread dissemination of information without deep reflection. He emphasizes that communication technologies, like the internet, have contributed to fostering cultural chaos and uncertainty in facts, warning that today's reality suffers from chaotic exposure and the disintegration of values and meaning.
