Stuffed Landscape

Technology development has made the world a global village. Efficiency, rationalization, and universalism mean that various lifestyles are becoming similar, and the unique and unique localities gradually disappear. That’s why we often talk about the ‘fundamental’ way we live today. But if we can not totally disagree with the flow of globalization, the rumination of ‘original or fundamental’ will also have some limitations. In other words, we have to stand between the indifference to globalization and universality, and the difference in the way we live with our unique way of life. It is well known that when a culture is confronted with an unfamiliar culture, it undergoes a process of ‘collision, denaturation, and assimilation’ (the Postcolonial Theory of Culture explains this process well). Here we have some questions. For example, is there an ‘inherency’ inherent in us? (Even if it is), ‘is it meaningful to look back at the uniqueness in today’s circumstances?’ And ‘How should we accept the moment when universality and locality in our lives become acute issues?’

Stuffed Landscape

Heidegger read “residence” as “making a relationship with the surroundings” and stared at the meaning of existence in that relationship. Today, as migrations of various aspects are common, Heidegger ‘s perception can be heard like the past. Nevertheless, the question of the self and the adaptation to the new environment encountered during the migration process is not as easy as the weight of the word ‘being’. In this process, social and cultural conflicts that individuals face inevitably, the hybrid of physical and non-physical factors, and the confused emotions stemming from them are stuffed into one landscape.
