AbstractIn acknowledgement of both the intellectual aspirations and the poetical style of Friedrich Schiller’s Aesthetic Education, the following article will re-interpret a passage in the 22nd letter that can be designated as a ›Poetics in nuce‹. Initially, it will be pointed out that Schiller’s theory of human perception as well as his semiotic model focus on the problem of commerce between matter and mind or sign and meaning. Subsequently, it will be shown that the terms Form and Stoff establish a connection between anthropology and poetics by shaping both theories according to the model of metabolism, which is a common metaphor employed to describe the res / verba relation in classical rhetoric. Consequently, I will demonstrate that the epistemological discourse in the letters 24 to 27, in stressing the senses of sight and hearing, leads to a theory of aesthetic communication that integrates rhetorical techniques of creating appearance (»Schein«) by adapting these strategies to the requirements of written communication in print cultures.

Contemporary communicative platforms welcome and accelerate a socio-anthropological mutation in which public opinion (Habermas, 1995) based on rational individuals and alphabetic culture gives way to a public emotion whose emotion, empathy and sociality are the bases, where it is no longer the reason that directs the senses but the senses that begin to think. The public spheres that are elaborated in this way can only be disjunctive (Appadurai, 2001), since they are motivated by the desire to transgress the identity, political and social boundaries where they have been elevated and restricted. The more the daily life, in its local intension and its global extension, rests on itself and frees itself from projections or infatuations towards transcendent and distant orders, the more the modern territory is shaken by the forces that cross it and pierce it. non-stop. The widespread disobedience characterizing a significant part of the cultural events that take place in cyberspace - dark web, web porn, copyright infringement, trolls, even irreverent ... - reveals the anomic nature of the societal subjectivity that emerges from the point of intersection between technology and naked life. Behind each of these offenses is the affirmation of the obsolescence of the principles on which much of the modern nation-states and their rights have been based. Each situation in which a tribe, cloud, group or network blends in a state of ecstasy or communion around shared communications, symbols and imaginations, all that surrounds it, in material, social or ideological terms, fades away. in the air, being isolated by the power of a bubble that in itself generates culture, rooting, identification: transpolitic to inhabit
