Vilém Flusser in Europa
This unpublished lecture reconstructs Vilém Flusser’s European impact from 1972 to 1998. It outlines the dual engagement framed by his distinction between “people of the word” and “people of the image,” beginning with the controversial, later enthusiastic embrace of his media philosophy in the German-speaking world to its scholarly analysis and the institutional establishment of his archive. The text examines Flusser’s publishing presence, his critical engagement with photographic work, and the development of his thinking towards philosophy as fiction.
