Network Society

Network Society proposes to discuss the concept of Network Society mostly developed by Manuel Castells.

A massively connected society, with an almost continuous access to information, higher mobility and speech freedom, more urban, more free time, and more technology available to create, remix and share … is the adequate medium to transform the information society to the network society, a new model redefining concepts as identity, community, citizenship, authority and power, participation or property, and affecting greatly to every institution, being business, markets or governments. In this process, many institutions and organizations relevant in the construction of the future, both in the medium and large range, are becoming marginal to the network society. Also a digital divide is affecting to our elites, with access to the Internet but disconnected of the network society.

To think about and analyse these topics, http://juanfreire.net/“>Juan Freire, http://www.genisroca.com/“>Genís Roca, http://enriquedans.com/“>Enrique Dans, http://www.gutierrez-rubi.es/“>Antoni Gutiérrez-Rubí, http://www.linkedin.com/pub/5/055/416“>Marc López Plana and http://ictlogy.net/“>Ismael Peña-López have joined efforts to organized the first http://sociedadred.org/?page_id=2“>course about the Network Society.

We are looking forward to meet you.
