  • Imagination Und Simulation 14 Was Vom Menschen Übrigbleibt
    Imagination und Simulation 14 Was vom Menschen übrigbleibt „Kann es gelingen, Wissenschaft und Kunst wieder zusammenzuführen, Denken und Fühlen in Einklang zu bringen im ‚Reich des schönen Scheins‘? Jedenfalls müssen wir den Ver- such machen, den Menschen aus der Fessel des Objektivitätsprinzips zu befreien, so wie er sich aus den Fesseln der Natur befreit hat. Nicht durch Umstoßen des Objektivitätsprinzips, sondern durch Überwinden auf höherer Ebene muß der Mensch wieder „lebende Gestalt“ ge- winnen. Vielleicht wird er dann ohne Entsagung und intellektuelle Opfer verzichten können zugunsten eines wahren Fortschritts.“ Friedrich Cramer 1975 Ausgangspunkt der Überlegungen zu diesem Buch war die Krisenstimmung westlicher Gesellschaften des 20. und beginnenden 21. Jahrhunderts und die daraus resultierende Zu- kunftsangst, die Giddens als diffuse Ängstlichkeit bezeichnet, weil es sich um eine Angst handelt, die ihr Objekt verloren hat und im schlimmsten Fall zu Lähmungserscheinungen und Pathologien bei Individuen führen kann. Besonders eindrucksvoll lässt sich dies über À lmische Verarbeitungen untersuchen. Filme gehören seit dem 20. Jahrhundert zu den bedeutenden Leitmedien der Gesell- schaft. In ihren Filmen greifen Filmemacher gesellschaftlich relevante Themen auf, inter- pretieren und kommentieren sie, setzen Themenschwerpunkte und beeinÁ ussen damit ganz wesentlich das Denken über und das Handeln in der Gesellschaft. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Wechselwirkung zwischen Spiegelung von gesellschaftlichen Prozessen und Konstruktion oder Erschaffung von Wissen über die Gesellschaft. Im Bereich der gesellschaftlichen Zukunft, die aufgrund ihrer Handlungsrelevanz sehr bedeutend für die soziologische Forschung ist, verhält sich dies ein wenig anders. Die gesellschaftliche Zu- kunft lässt sich nicht beobachten und entsprechend kommentieren. Lediglich lassen sich gegenwärtige gesellschaftliche Tendenzen beobachten und darüber nachdenken, wie sie sich wohl weiterentwickeln könnten.

  • VISUAL CULTURE Empathy for the Game Master: How Virtual Reality Creates Empathy for Those Seen to Be Creating VR
    JOURNAL OF 19.1 VISUAL CULTURE Empathy for the game master: how virtual reality creates empathy for those seen to be creating VR Paul Roquet Abstract. This article rethinks the notion of virtual reality (VR) as an ‘empathy machine’ by examining how VR directs emotional identification not toward the subjects of particular VR titles, but toward VR developers themselves. Tracing how both positive and negative empathy circulates around characters in one of the most influential VR fictions of the 2010s, the light novel series-turned-anime series Sword Art Online (2009–), as well as the real-life figure of Palmer Luckey, creator of the Oculus Rift headset that launched the most recent VR revival, the author shows how empathetic identification ultimately tends to target the VR game master, the head architect of the VR world. These figures often already inhabit a socially privileged position. A better understanding of how VR channels empathy towards VR creators points to the need to ensure a broader range of people have opportunities to take up the role of VR game master for themselves. Keywords. empathy • Palmer Luckey • Ready Player One • Sword Art Online • virtual reality (VR) Does virtual reality (VR) have a special ability to generate empathy? In other words, does being immersed in someone else’s perspective through VR make it easier to understand and share their emotions? This became a central point of contention in the early years of the most recent VR boom after Chris Milk declared VR an ‘empathy machine’ in his widely viewed 2015 TED talk (see the Editors’ Introduction to this themed issue of Journal of Visual Culture).
