	Technocapitalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Technocapitalism is a term used to describe the changes in capitalism brought about by the emergence of high technology sectors in the economy.
		Luis Suarez-Villa, in his 2000 book Invention and Rise of Technocapitalism argues that it is a form of capitalism in which intangibles such as creativity and new knowledge play the parts that raw materials, factory labor and capital played under industrial capitalism.
		Technocapitalism is a contraction of "technology" and "capitalism," two of the most commonly used words in the social sciences.

	Technocapitalism and the Information Society - The World Summit in Reflection
		Technocapitalism is an evolution of market capitalism that is rooted in rapid technological innovation.
		The rise of technocapitalism and the information society it spawned are generating new organizational forms to try and meet the challenges posed by increasing competition, globalization, and the rapid flow of knowledge and information.
		In the kinds of organizations that are typical of both technocapitalism and the information society, for example, groups are often established that operate outside the established lines of authority and control of an organization.

		Technocapitalism is an evolution of market capitalism, that is rooted in technological innovation and is supported by such intangibles as creativity and knowledge.
		The culture of technocapitalism, with its emphasis on continuous innovation and rapid adjustment, is largely behind the rising importance of networks.
		In the kinds of firms and sectors that are typical of technocapitalism, for example, groups are often established that operate outside the established lines of authority and control of a firm.

	technocapitalism-phenomena
		Second, the rapid massification of education during the second half of the twentieth century, and particularly technological education, was another macro phenomenon supporting the rise of technocapitalism.
		The third macro phenomenon supporting technocapitalism is the unprecedented accumulation of infrastructure, both physical and intangible, during the second half of the twentieth century.
		The third micro phenomenon supporting the rise of technocapitalism is the spread of continuous (or systematized) invention and innovation.

	Abstracts
		Technocapitalism, an emerging form of market capitalism, is rooted in invention and the development of new technologies.
		The last chapter then places the emergence of technocapitalism in perspective by considering its role in the centuries-long evolution of market capitalism.
		The rise of technocapitalism involves the commodification of knowledge in faster and more diverse ways than at any previous time in human history.

	Theorizing New Technologies; pma, Erben book, etc [cta]
		Indeed, the discourse appropriates both biological/natural metaphors and the figure of evolution to make it appear that the development of the new technologies and resultant social transformation is a natural process that in addition is a force of human progress, of development to higher spheres of social evolution.
		The concept of technocapitalism thus points to syntheses of technology and capital and attempts to avoid technological or economic determinism.
		In terms of political economy, the new postindustrial form of technocapitalism is characterized by a decline of the state and increased power of the market, accompanied by the growing power of globalized transnational corporations and governmental bodies and the decline of the nation-state and its institutions.

	Regional inversion and technocapitalism
		Technocapitalism is a new form of market capitalism involving a departure from the structures of what may be referred to as industrial and post-industrial capitalism.
		This aspect is therefore common both to the process of regional inversion and to the emergence of technocapitalism.
		All of these characteristics have supported the emergence of technocapitalism, and they are also relevant to the process of regional inversion.

	Parol on line - New Technologies, TechnoCities, and the Prospects for Dem... - di Douglas Kellner
		I introduced the term "technocapitalism" to describe the synthesis of capital and technology in the present organization of society (Kellner 1989a).
		The restructuring of capital, I am now arguing, is producing a very specific new social configuration that I have termed "the infotainment society" in order to point to the mergers of information and media industries and to the significance of new technologies of information, entertainment, and social reproduction.
		Those interested in the politics and culture of the future should therefore be clear on the important role of the new public spheres and intervene accordingly.

	Parol on line - Theorizing New Technologies - di Douglas Kellner
		I would indeed go so far as to claim that the information superhighway is the dominant ideology and the infotainment society is the primary project of the contemporary technocapitalist society.
		These mergers call for an expansion of the concept of information revolution, or information society, into concepts of the infotainment society in order to highlight the imbrications of information and entertainment in the new media and technologies of the present.
		Baudrillard) which often argue that technology is the new organizing principle of society, and not the economic relations, I propose the term technocapitalism to point to both the increasingly important role of technology and continued primacy of capitalist relations of production.

	New Technologies, Welfare State and Democratization [cta]
		A critical theory of technology may also deploy strategies of immanent critique, but may wish to develop stronger conceptions of democracy, freedom, and the good society than notions currently in play and should carry out critiques of ideological notions of democracy, empowerment, and freedom being promoted by the avatars of new computer and multimedia technologies.
		Baudrillard 1993) which often argue that technology is the new organizing principle of society, and not the economic relations, I propose the term technocapitalism to point to both the increasingly important role of technology and continued primacy of capitalist relations of production.
		Since such discourse reminds one of George Bush's 1989 Inaugural speech and its discourse of a "1000 points of light" and "friendlier and gentler nation," followed by his invasion of Panama and orchestration of the Gulf war, one should be suspicious and take such bromides with a grain of salt.

	Local Government in the Information Society
		I use the concept of technocapitalism as the key of the theoretical analysis.
		But, as Kellner points out, technocapitalism continues to attempt to monopolize new technologies in the interest of corporate domination and profitability, and thus continues to follow the imperatives of capitalist logic.
		This is the challenge to local government in the age of technocapitalism.

	The Politics of Information (Part 2 of 5) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		One of the persistent symptoms of digital-capitalist fantasy life is the curious but widespread misreading of Donna Haraway's 1985 "Cyborg Manifesto" as a celebration of bourgeois fantasies of technoculture.
		Explicitly socialist-feminist in its commitments, the text of the Manifesto instead offers one of the most compelling portraits of technocapitalism as a global class war from above, the "informatics of domination" relentlessly engineering new social relations of exploitation with the new utopia-for-capital sustained by information technologies.
		Seizing on the spectacular size of the interactive-gaming market (in the U.S. alone, larger than Hollywood's annual box office), he describes the ease with which technocapitalism has successfully incorporated the knowledge dimension of species being ("general intellect"), as well as some of the prospects for an other-than-capitalist elaboration of the same process.

		Commodification means transforming knowledge from tacit to explicit forms, standardizing and codifying it, and turning its utility value into exchange value.
		This paper provides insights on the phenomena that mark the emergence of technocapitalism as a new form of market capitalism, and their influence on the commodification of knowledge for invention and innovation.
		The phenomena in question involve the rapid reproduction of creativity and a faster diffusion of knowledge, both of which have been supported by a massification of technical education and the rapid, longterm accumulation of knowledgesensitive infrastructure.

	Habermas’ heritage
		In studying the array of discourses which characterise these new technologies, Kellner is "bemused" by the extent to which they either expose a technophilic discourse which presents new technologies as our salvation, or they embody a technophobic discourse that demonises technology as the major source of all our problems.
		Kellner identifies the emerging concept of the information society and information superhighway as the key ideological discourse that legitimates the development of technocapitalism and the concept of the information society and the infotainment society is the primary project of the contemporary technocapitalist society:
		Kellner uses the term "technocapitalism" to describe the synthesis of capital and technology to point out both the increasingly important role of technology and the continued primacy of capitalist structures.

	Paulo Freire and Eco-Justice: Updating Pedagogy of the Oppressed for the Age of Ecological Calamity by Richard Kahn
		Rooted in “real and concrete hunger” experiences and informed by a critical understanding of transnational social structure and power, since its appearance in English in 1970, Freire's great text has run alongside (and mostly counter to) the globalization of technocapital and its resulting cycle of mass extinction and planetary oppression.
		Much of this is directly related to a series of loans begun by the World Bank and the World Trade Organization in the 1990's, which ultimately increased Third World debt by a factor of eight compared with pre-globalization figures.
		So, as approximately 1.2 billion people live on less than $1 per day and nearly 3 billion live on less than $2 per day, the dizzy heights of global technocapitalism have been unfortunate indeed for nearly half of the human population.

		For instance perfect competition is a dream, sustaining competitive structures however imperfect these maybe is itself an acheivement,
		We may have entered an era of technocapitalism and this makes it imperative to extend the purview of technology to include all those processes including those that are not exactly hi-tech.
		Unemployment is a reality and solving it with the utlisation of appropriate technology will be an important driver of progress in the new era.

		By examining the current goals of technocrats and techno-utopians--stem-cell produced organs, custom-designed children, human cloning, human immortality, and the merging of computers with humans--D'Souza shows that the future has as much potential to destroy and demoralize the human race as it does to economically uplift it.
		And while D'Souza could have been a lot more forthright about his own views on technocapitalism, he can be commended for presenting both the benefits and costs of living in a culture dominated by technology.
		While he acknowledges that society has profited economically from new technologies, he argues that we have made spiritual and moral sacrifices in the process.
