Dear FIS Colleagues,

I think this new book to appear celebrating our colleague Rafael Capurro 
can be of interest.

New book to be published by Springer in July 2016.

/Information Cultures in the Digital Age: A Festschrift in Honor of 
Rafael Capurro /(Edited by Matthew Kelly & Jared Bielby)

For several decades Rafael Capurro has been at the forefront of defining 
the relationship between information and modernity through both 
phenomenological and ethical formulations. In exploring both of these 
themes Capurro has re-vivified the transcultural and intercultural 
expressions of how we bring an understanding of information to bear on 
scientific knowledge production and intermediation. Capurro has long 
stressed the need to look deeply into how we contextualize the 
information problems that scientific society creates for us and to 
re-incorporate a pragmatic dimension into our response that provides a 
balance to the cognitive turn in information science.

With contributions from 35 scholars from 15 countries,/Information 
Cultures in the Digital Age/ focuses on the culture and philosophy of 
information, information ethics, the relationship of information to 
message, the historic and semiotic understanding of information, the 
relationship of information to power and the future of information 
education. This Festschrift seeks to celebrate Rafael Capurro’s 
important contribution to a global dialogue on how information 
conceptualisation, use and technology impact human culture and the 
ethical questions that arise from this dynamic relationship.

The Editors: Matthew Kelly is a scholar at Curtin University’s 
Department of Information Studies and at the International Institute for 
Hermeneutics. Jared Bielby currently serves as Co-Chair for the 
International Center for Information Ethics and Editor for the 
International Review of Information Ethics.
