Who lives inside the “not figurative city”?
Which are the physiological and anthropological characteristics?
The contemporary man lives in a metropolis full of information, services, goods and human beings, as the plankton that wraps around him like in an aquarium in which he doesn’t have the knowledge of the landscape and he doesn’t perceive the shape or the buildings of the city. This is the “non-figurative city”, because it is full of small molecules and moving fragments. The condition of the contemporary man is a “primitive condition” because of the lack of boundaries and limits.
The contemporary man inverted the Darwin law. He went back to his primordial origins, which are wild, and full of animal instincts, he lives inside the space but doesn’t have the knowledge of its limits, of the shape of his habitat and the global metropolis.
In this wild condition he continues his evolution process because, in contrast with Indians, he lives his contemporary way of life always preserving a critical way versus his way of living.
The contemporary man is characterized by a negative attitude towards “his contemporary way of living”. For this reason he modifies himself and the environment (or history) in which he lives.
The contemporary man lives in a systematic evolution, restless, as an animal that used to live at beginning of the world.
