- The chapter How is the Death Hounting Popular Culture? From “I” to Pop-art, from Letter to Letter by Michał Szukała is of a philosophical nature and takes on the concept of death as a theme. The mere concept is a void, if it is an intellectual idea alone. On the contrary, it must be incorporated into the world and reciprocally—the world creates the concept. Thus, how does then the concept of death manifest itself in today’s Zeitgeist understood as media culture, otherwise known as pop culture? Is it that is culture able to construct the concept of death, and if so, in what way? It seems that death in pop culture refers to the reproducible element, i.e. the sign in the form of images or strategies, whose fate is to be repeated, imitated, modified et cetera. But pop culture not only determines what the sign is—it is the principle of it, with respect to the media culture and indispensably to a certain industry. The medium and the machine, the artificial and the dead, in fact are founding elements in the dynamics of the “living” culture. Death is therefore not only a concept in form of the sign. It is a determining idea for the present civilization’s structure: death makes it possible and outlines its limits. In that movement in history, the philosophical and artistic phenomenon of Andy Warhol is inscribed, which managed to embody the great paradigm shifts and subsequently becoming their very manifestation and affirmation. Warhol led pop culture to its most radical, purest form. He unmasked its critics and the alleged deceitful protagonists, who were driven merely by their motive for profit. The text follows various incarnations of death in Warhol’s oeuvre: from the general technique of reproduction to the distinct pictorial forms of self-portraits and pictures of other people’s deaths.
