Description

What is the network society?What effects does it have upon media, culture and politics?What are the competing forces in the network society, and how are they reshaping the world?The rise of the network society - the suffusion of much of the economy, culture and society with digital interconnectivity - is a development of immense significance.

In this innovative book, Robert Hassan unpacks the dynamics of this new information order and shows how they have affected both the way media and politics are 'played', and how these are set to reshape and reorder our world.

Using many of the current ideas in media theory, cultural studies and the politics of the newly evolving 'networked civil society', Hassan argues that the network society is steeped with contradictions and in a state of deep flux.This is a key text for undergraduate students in media studies, politics, cultural studies and sociology, and will be of interest to anyone who wishes to understand the network society and play a part in shaping it.
