ANTH 270 - The Information Society

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

What is the reality of the "information age?" We will look at technological and information cultures constructed in science, media and politics, at attempts to generalize their features into concepts about personal, biological, psychosocial identities and at their relation to issues of "globalization" and transnational cultures that are thrown up by shrinking the contemporary world. Students may anticipate a multidisciplinary set of readings about information and communication as social process with distinctive profiles in our time.
