With the spread of information and communication technologies
(ICTs) comes the potential both for new social and economic
equalities and new forms of inequalities. Information, Power, and
Politics: Technological and Institutional Mediations demonstrates
that ICTs can act as an impetus for democratizing information and
knowledge, while at the same time new institutional frameworks can
limit one's use of and access to strategic information and
knowledge. The volume's contributors address ways to strengthen and
affirm the socially marginalized as well as suggest how best to
incorporate (semi)peripheral countries and regions into the
international system. Information, Power, and Politics offers a
refreshing and timely perspective on the ever-evolving relationship
between information, knowledge, and communication.
The book aims to counter the normative functioning of creativity in
contemporary capitalism with a plethora of alternatives to radical
creative practices. In the first part, titled "Creative
Capitalism", five authors analyze the forms of contemporary
capitalism: on the one hand, there are new ways of working which
include flexibility, mobility, and especially precarity; on the
other, there are new forms of recovery and accumulation. In the
second part, titled "Multitudinous Creativities: Radicalities and
Alterities", the book reflects on more autonomous creative
experiments in the world. The third part, titled "Creativity, New
Technologies, and Networks", analyses the issues related to the
work of creative capitalism and the possible resistance within the
digital and collaborative platforms.
