Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. We live in the midst of a revolution in communication technologies that affects the way in which people feel, think, and behave. The media have become the space where power strategies are played out. In the current technological context mass communication goes beyond traditional media and includes the Internet and mobile communication. In this wide-ranging and powerful book, Manuel Castells analyses the transformation of the global media industry by this revolution in communication technologies. He argues that a new communication system, mass self-communication, has emerged, and power relationships have been profoundly modified by the emergence of this new communication environment. Created in the commons of the Internet this communication can be locally based, but globally connected. It is built through messaging, social networks sites, and blogging, and is now being used by the millions around the world who have access to the Internet. Drawing on a wide range of social and psychological theories, Castells presents original research on political processes and social movements, including the misinformation of the American public on the Iraq War, the global environmental movement to prevent climate change, the control of information in China and Russia, and Internet-based political campaigns, such as the Obama campaign in the United States. On the basis of these case studies he proposes a new theory of power in the information age based on the management of communication networks Justly celebrated for his analysis of the network society, Castells here builds on that work, offering a well grounded and immensely challenging picture of communication and power in the 21st century.

We are experiencing a revolution in communication technologies that profoundly influences how people feel, think, and behave. The media has become a battleground for power strategies, with mass communication extending beyond traditional outlets to encompass the Internet and mobile communication. In this compelling work, Manuel Castells examines how this technological revolution has transformed the global media industry. He introduces the concept of mass self-communication, which alters power dynamics within this new environment. This form of communication, rooted in the Internet, allows for local engagement while maintaining global connections, facilitated through messaging, social networks, and blogging, reaching millions worldwide. Castells utilizes various social and psychological theories to present original research on political processes and social movements, applying his insights to significant events such as the misinformation surrounding the Iraq War, the global environmental movement, information control in China and Russia, and Barack Obama's internet-driven presidential campaigns. In this updated edition, he also addresses recent political and economic crises, including the Arab Spring and the Occupy movement. Through these case studies, Castells proposes a new theory of power in the information age, emphasizing the management of communication networks. Celebrated for his analysis of the network society, he offers. Artikel-Nr. f38dd31a-050c-4b00-9fe2-8f64d504e314
