Conference | 'Like': a Dialogue Between Me and Others?
A conference by Théodora Domenech.
On social networks, the heart ❤️ is a judgment of taste and a social act. This seemingly innocuous gesture carries an ideal. People want to share with others what they like and what they value. Everyone wants to influence the recommendation algorithm and create a horizon of ideas and tastes to guide our social organization. Although the manipulation of data for economic and political purposes tarnishes the social scope of the like, it does not completely erase it. The influence of the like on our lives and intimate behaviors is deep. Communities of taste and ideas already contribute to self-construction. I define myself by what I like, in constant dialogue with others.
Théodora Domenech is a philosopher and teacher at the École Supérieure d’Art et Design de Valence. Her research focuses on the role of the political and technological environment on aesthetic experience. She specializes in the phenomenology of feelings. The book based on her thesis, “Les antinomies de l’amour dans la pensée de Max Scheler”, will be published by Kimé editions in June 2026. Among her recent articles: “L’expérience esthétique en milieu numérique”, Sociétés & Représentations, no. 55, “L’oeil numérique”, edited by Laurence Danguy and Julien Schuh, 2023.
