El extraño señor llamado Vilém F.
This essay is a reflection from various perspectives on the life and work of Vilém Flusser. Structured as a series of scenes, it connects biographical and geographical reflections, ranging from his escape from Prague, his residence in Brazil, and his return to the city of his birth, with considerations on the peculiar structure and reception of his work, marked by its thematic and disciplinary heterogeneity. Through these scenes, the figure of a nomadic thinker, “groundless” (bodenlos) emerges, one who evades closed systems, inherited traditions of thought, and stable foundations. His life and work are permeated by displacement, discomfort, and constant challenge. Each section emphasizes a different aspect: his relationship with art and design, the playful character of his writing, his polyglot practice and its influence on his creative process, and his way of thinking about technology in dialogue with phenomenology, cybernetics, and philosophy. The aim is not to fix Flusser into a single definitive category as writer or philosopher, but to demystify him, placing him as a man of our present, highlighting his condition as a radical contemporary capable of reading our time as a Heraclitean flow, turbulent and labyrinthine.
