  • Beschreibung: This essay discusses several post-Earthrise images of the Earth from space and considers how these profoundly dislocating views might be reconciled with a phenomenological account of embodied earthly perception. I discuss Heidegger's anxieties about technology and leaving the Earth as the scene of the human, and consider what insights Edmund Husserl, Renaud Barbaras, and Jan Patocka may provide in anchoring the perceiver in/on the Earth. Throughout, technological apparatuses act as a foil to easily reconciling these images with a phenomenological understanding embodiment, and I assert that our contemporary images of the Earth (Google Earth, GPS) might not really function as images at all, but rather as more complex media objects, whose technological affordances interpenetrate our sense of earthly perception.
