Jenseits der Schriftkultur — Band 1

The author traces a cultural shift from a print- and script-centered order toward an interactive, image- and computation-driven environment, outlining technological, cognitive, and social consequences. He surveys historical transitions from early signs and oral memory to writing and literalism, then to visual and interactive media, and analyzes how these changes reshape language, logic, and understanding. Economic and institutional arenas such as markets, work, education, science, design, politics, and the military are examined for altered practices, priorities, and power relations. Practical responses are proposed, including redesigned educational models, new professional roles for designers, and governance attuned to media-driven participation and surveillance.
