An initial exploration of the ambiguity of the expression ‘everyday lfe’ points to a more consequential type of undecidability once it is fully recognized how the ideology …

Barry Sandywell traces the differences between the traditional discourses of reflection and the experiences of reflexivity in everyday, social and philosophical thought.

The Handbook of Visual Culture

Monsters in cyberspace cyberphobia and cultural panic in the information age

Metacritique of Information: On Scott Lash's Critique of Information
SCOTT LASH'S Critique of Information (2002) is one of the most ambitious and provocative works on the theory of the global information revolution to have appeared in recent years. Yet if the book is received simply as another account of the electronic flows and circuitry of the information age it will be misunderstood. Its fate would be one of eager, if temporary, academic consumption and relegation to the limbo of courses in social theory and cu…
Presocratic Reflexivity: The Construction of Philosophical Discourse c. 600-450 B.C.

E-Topia as Cosmopolis or Citadel: On the Democratizing and De-Democratizing Logics of the Internet, or, toward a Critique of the New Technological Fetishism
We present a critical appraisal of the impact of the Internet (and related information technologies) upon processes of democratization and de-democratization in contemporary society. We review accounts of 'the information revolution' as these have become polarized into mutually exclusive rhetorics of future cosmopolitan or citadellian e-topias. We question the Manichean assumptions common to both rhetorics: particularly the fetishism of informati…
