Section Title:
Technoscientific Networks
Section Info:
From Bittorrent to Wikipedia, and from transnational fast food franchises to free software producers, global networks have emerged as the defining organizational structure of the contemporary information age. Capable, allegedly, of channeling the productive and creative potential of diverse participants, and organizing the knowledge-and information-based exchanges of individuals, they have at once become the circuits through which new forms of political contest and challenges to logics of social inclusion/exclusion manifest. This course examines the network as a social formation that responds to the current conditions of digitaliz-able capital, labor, and governance. And it will study GLOBAL networks as cultural technologies that manifest the political tension between free markets and free individuals, and between the competing aspirations of participatory democracy and late capitalism.
