Abstract:
We live in a media-saturated world. That much is clear; indeed that much is exceedingly apparent. ‘We’, that is, a steadily growing number of people around the globe; ‘people’, as in both the constitutive political subject and the class excluded from politics. The media has become the space where technology, communication and power converge. In this networked society, if that is what we have to call it, it is the internet above all that acts as a hub for global flows of information and ideas and hence increasingly influences social groups and cultural categories. Computers and the rapid increase in mobile information and communication technologies (ICTs) that connect people to and from the internet makes this network of networks almost omnipresent.
