Media Robotic Culture from the Perspective of the Categories of Culture (Being, Social, and Symbolic)

Abstract

The aim of this article is to conceptualize a new type of culture, which we propose to refer to as media robotic culture. Adopting a sociological approach to culture, we define it from the perspective of two theoretical concepts (constructivism and technological determinism), within the framework of three categories of culture proposed by Antonina Kłoskowska: the culture of being, social culture, and symbolic culture. By the categories of culture, we mean one of the possible ways of taxonomically approaching culture. These are “large, fundamental branches of this culture distinguished in a synchronous approach, differing in the nature of the elements that compose them, in a way that justifies their separate study for methodological and theoretical reasons. The analyzed criteria applied to the area of social robotics were creativity and communication ability.
