| Description |
Derek Hrynyshyn takes on the postulated "technological necessity" underlying the current wave of economic globalization. He critically dissects the sophisticated version of this argument developed by Manuel Castells in the impressive trilogy The Information Age: Economy, Society, Culture. For Hrynyshyn, a more nuanced approach to the connection between capitalism and paths of technological change can be found in Raymond William's conception of "determination." This approach invites us to think about the ways capitalist social and political relations set limits and exert pressures upon the trajectories of technological change. Taking the example of the internet, Hrynyshyn illustrates the way such pressures have (thusfar) operated to preclude its democratic and liberatory promise.
