Summary
One of the analytic strategies that Martin Heidegger uses in his 1954 essay, “The Question Concerning Technology,”is etymological investigation. Associations with film—screen as a projection space, and terms like screenplay and screen test—are from the early twentieth century. Both words suggest the employment of technologies to facilitate intellectual, social, and artistic experiences and stimulate ideas, or, echoing Heidegger, as means of revealing.
