The progress of science and technology has accelerated the formation of globalization.
Cultures have also become diverse, and are "intertwined" and "infiltrate" with each other, and the Internet has made the culture of other countries and individuals more accessible.
In this regard, the new generation of German thinker Han Bingzhe, in his book "Superculture: Culture and Globalization", proposed a new concept - "superculture", supplemented by his own insights to elaborate.
People can now "browse" freely online. Culture began to lose its territoriality, temporality and distantness.
The cultural space of "going far" makes people feel "close". Although cultural life and forms of expression have become richer, culture has also imploded, becoming "superculture".
We are all hypercultural travelers with no strangeness, fear or anticipation of distant spaces.
Even, in this "hypercultural hypermarket", we still have a leisurely stroll. Constantly scanning new things, constantly taking the information of the "other" as already existing, constantly wandering and iterating, becoming a new list.
Globalization has produced supraculture, but supraculture does not bring cultural uniformity, but maintains its diversity.
Just like super cooking, you don't blindly "stew" everything, but rely on differences to create new forms. Just like Western cuisine often introduces elements of Asian cuisine.
In the book, Han also dissects why East Asia is easier to quickly enter hyperculture than Europe.
He said that East Asian thinking is "relational" oriented and "networked". Europe, on the other hand, emphasizes "essence" and "existence".
It is precisely because East Asian thinking lacks internality that it is easier to penetrate, to be opened, and to have a stronger approach to new things.
Looking back at Chinese culture, it is indeed inclusive and profound. The cultures of Japan, South Korea and North Korea also have Chinese culture.
People travel on the Internet, and computer/mobile phone screens are a window into hypercultural text.
Han Bingzhe believes that the window allows the list to connect with the world, while isolating the individual from the world. As a kind of window, the screen not only has a display function, but also a masking function.
The transcultural traveler changes from "being-world-in-being" to "being-window-before-being".
In addition, the communication and interaction between the lists needs to follow the "friendly way".
To sum up, Han Byung-chul believes that the experience of culture by hypercultural travelers is culture-travel.
This book, he wrote in 2005.
In the book, Han Bingzhe quotes the views of many philosophers such as Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Kant, and combines their philosophies with his own insights into supercultural phenomena, so as to propose more forward-looking reflections, which are quite enlightening.
