The digitized information: a metaphor for communism?

S lavoj Žižek, a philosopher at that Ljubljana has become the now world famous for some years, wonders if the information revolution is not the ultimate exemplification of Marx's thesis according to which, at some stage of their development, the productive forces come into conflict with the existing relations of production. The Marxist philosopher, even more explicitly asks : "the prospect of a 'global village' does not signal the end of market relations, at least in the sphere of information digitized?".

N you want on here obviously, and not for lack of will summarize the endless debate on the philosophy of P2P sharing and the free exchange that the spread on a global scale the network as a means of communication has also raised the same time. However, the solicitation of Žižek seems very challenging given the power of metaphor. Not that shines particularly original idea to read the web as a new ideal form in which to place the development of new and higher relations between women and men, as the same old opposition between Gemeinschaft (the community) and Gesellschaft (society), and therefore among the fundamental values \u200b\u200bof both formations, seems to find expression in an almost paradigmatic when we venture into the dark forest information scanned, exposing the related risk of losing the right way.

A e have a few ingredients for our cake, at the time. A revolution in the way we process and disseminate information, a community will grow, but for now still has the features of an elite , around that joins this revolution and some thinker that by observing this fact, the law in this development exceeded the metaphor of capitalist social relations. Still too little, as we see. A trace of reasoning from which it can not be ignored however, and will resume with greater depth. Perhaps we will discover that the global village as non-place as a process, is also animated by the clash between the forces of happiness and the unhappiness, cos & # 236; as physical places, real. The struggle is open, the outcome uncertain.
