'The cradle Earth' - new anthropological fieldwork

Abstract

As a culturally-oriented discipline anthropological perspectives cannot be overlooked in the discussion on cultural dimensions of space. This paper aims to raise some questions and proposals to be elaborated in the future by the academia and which concern the occurrence of the phenomenon of 'space society'. It touches upon issues of mass communication and associated mechanisms of perception of the spatial environment, hard science, popular science and science fiction, everything that can be associated or is affected by the humanity's physical or intentional presence in outer space.
