Cultures in the Digital Age: A Festschrift in Honor of
Rafael Capurro </i>(Edited by Matthew Kelly & Jared
Bielby)</font><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
With contributions from 35 scholars from 15 countries,<i>
Information Cultures in the Digital Age</i> 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.<br>
