荒川修作の「意味のメカニズム」を解読する: 天命反転という身体技法のもつ希望

摘要

Having been preoccupied with the seriousness of the Global Environmental Problems, the author started to investigate the origin of modern human and the Civilization. He realized that the only difference between humans and non-human animals is the digital characteristics of human language. In digital linguistics, the meanings of words are structured sensory and logical memories. The Mechanism of Meaning of ARAKAWA deals with the generation and formation of consciousness, which yields meanings. The author interprets the Mechanism of Meaning and the body techniques of Reversible Destiny, which have a possibility to redirect and emancipate humans from cul-de-sac of modern civilization.%筆者は，地球環境問題の深刻化に悩んだ末，人類と文明の起源を探求し始め，音声言語のデジタル化こそがヒトとヒト以外の動物を分け隔てることに気づいた．言葉の意味とは，個人が体験する五官の感覚記憶と，生得的論理回路が行なう二元演算の真偽値の記憶を体系化したものである．デジタル言語学はここで荒川修作の「意味のメカニズム」と接点をもつ．意味を生みだす意識の発生・形成過程を身体技法化した「天命反転」には，ヒトを現代文明の閉塞状況から解放する契機がる．
