{"product_id":"the-chronoscopic-society-steve-jones-9780820467078","title":"The Chronoscopic Society: Globalization, Time, and Knowledge in the Network Economy","description":"In this groundbreaking book, media and time theorist Robert Hassan looks at the effects of the nexus between neoliberal globalization and the information technology revolution upon the production and dissemination of knowledge in technologically advanced societies. This nexus has created what Hassan calls an  information ecology , an environment that affects the individual, culture and society in the same dialectical ways as the natural and built environment. Significantly, this information ecology generates its own temporality, that of  network time , a digitally compressed and accelerated time that has  sped up  society dramatically since the late 1970s. Network time has changed the mechanics and institutions of knowledge production in society to an unprecedented degree and extent. How we think, what we think, and what we consider to be  useful  and  legitimate  knowledge is changing in ways (and at a rate) that poses serious problems for mass culture and civil society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Jones,Robert Hassan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820467073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820467078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Steve Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112976462079,"sku":"9780820467078","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f96ef323-85a5-4790-b5b8-01f7196b7789.jpg?v=1769612221","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-chronoscopic-society-steve-jones-9780820467078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
