The aim of this paper is to analyze the narrative written by the famous Israeli historian, in his journalistic bestseller entitled Homo Deus. It is a short history of tomorrow, which is widely read and quite notable in our public. It is a representative narrative that assumes the advancement of technology and information, yet the novelty within this context refers to the need of redefining the concepts such as humanism, man, consciousness, (linguistic) identity, feelings. The methodology of the paper does not refer to a scientific evaluation of theory, which is just one of possible scenarios of our future, but also to what has been said, as a type of discourse or narrative created within certain system of values, which in a special way uses or displaces specific concepts. In short, how does Harari shape his story of our future, with special emphasis on what happens with the terms listed in it? The terms are described from the viewpoint of cultural studies (narrative as a construction observed from a position of power), but also from (socio) linguistic aspect. |
