| description | <p>The Market, Technoscience, and the Media, all interconnected, constitute an efficient gearing that moves the world in which we live. This network was reinforced by three great transformations: the move from a market economy to a market society, from technology as an instrument to the emergence of Technoscience as a horizon, and finally the transformation from communication as a means to the media as a setting. Questioned by this new situation, theology becomes conscious of the necessity to submit itself to an intercultural transformation. It chooses the intercultural as its formal object of study, distancing itself from the modern paradigm of History, the setting of the principal theological currents of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. The intercultural, then, is assumed as a theological place: a perspective from which various ideas can be studied. This is the condition by which an intercultural theology can contribute responsibly to our age, one that regrettably manifests penury of thinking. This theological approach invites us to consider knowledge as a texture of care and as recognition, and it reminds us of the very dimensions of Language as mediation of human existence and of life in general.</p> |
