Animation/re-animation

Article Abstract:

The fascination with animation, or wresting the power of life from death by means other than the divine or the metaphysical constitutes the human as having power over life and death, over nature, and thus becoming God himself. Several of the technologies of animation and re-animation were developed in modern times through and for military use, intensifying the connections between the living and the dead, and which are increasingly a part of global culture.

A discussion on the development of cultural diversity as a policy ideal, particularly in Europe and North America, is presented.
