Description
The central thesis of this study argues that a fundamental contradiction exists between what rising generations need to navigate the future with its opportunities, potential, dangers, and challenges, and the cultural schism that is increasingly evident between visual culture and fundamentalist culture. Caught between the pursuit of fleeting sensual pleasures and the yearning for the past, the very foundations and capabilities for addressing future demands are besieged. While the notion of the world as a small village has become commonplace, this schism leads to a disregard for the necessities of governance and management required by the escalating inevitability of our shared destiny, and its demands for self-reliance and intellectual capacity. Both visual culture and its electronic rhetoric, and fundamentalist culture and its idealized mythology, are deeply entrenched in their respective projects, pushing them down paths that can only be described as leading to disastrous outcomes.
