About this product
Product Information
In an age of email lists and discussion groups, e-zines and weblogs, bringing together users, consumers, workers and activists from around the globe, what kinds of political subjectivity are emerging? What kinds of politics become possible in a time of information overload and media saturation? What structures of power and control operate over a self-organising system like the internet? In this highly original new work, Tiziana Terranova investigates the political dimension of the network culture in which we now live, and explores what the new forms of communication and organisation might mean for our understanding of power and politics. Terranova engages with key concepts and debates in cultural theory and cultural politics, using examples from media culture, computing, network dynamics, and internet activism within the anti-capitalist and anti-war movements. Network Culture concludes that the nonlinear network dynamics that link different modes of communication at different levels (from local radio to satellite television, from the national press to the internet, from broadcasting to rumours and conspiracy theories) provide the conditions within which another politics can emerge. This other politics, the book suggests, does not entail the production of a new political discourse or ideology, but the invention of micropolitical tactics able to stand up to new forms of social control.

Reviews
Tiziana Terranova shows that the internet generation of cultural theorists, beyond boom and bust, are here to stay. In Network Culture theory is no longer an alien accelerator but is hardwired into the online everyday. Free of post-modern obscurity, Terranova calls for broad public support of open networks. Networks change the working conditions of millions and create new social conditions - and tensions. Shortcutting engineering culture with culture jamming activists, Network Culture reports of a 'techno-science for all' in which networks are not so much tools but environments. As an uncompromising mediator, Terranova positions technology-specific issues in wider globalisation debates, reflecting on the way that today's 'distributed' movements are intermingled with global communication networks., 'A genuine achievement. Terranova gives the reader a notion of new media that extends all the way to artificial life. Then she takes this concoction and makes it political. Required reading for media theorists, evolutionary biology junkies and activists', Tiziana Terranova shows that the internet generation of cultural theorists, beyond boom and bust, are here to stay.

She shows in wonderfully clear terms how our increasingly networked world brings harsher forms of domination but also opens the possibility for new struggles of liberation', This book is a genuine achievement.
