Synopsis
Un análisis sagaz del régimen de la información, el nuevo gobierno al que estamos sometidos, por el filósofo más leído del siglo XXI. La digitalización avanza inexorablemente. Aturdidos por el frenesí de la comunicación y la información, nos sentimos impotentes ante el tsunami de datos que despliega fuerzas destructivas y deformantes. Hoy la digitalización también afecta a la esfera política y provoca graves trastornos en el proceso democrático. Las campañas electorales son guerras de información que se libran con todos los medios técnicos y psicológicos imaginables. Los bots difunden noticias falsas y discursos de odio e influyen en la formación de la opinión pública. Los ejércitos de troles intervienen en las campañas y apuntalan la desinformación. Las teorías de la conspiración y la propaganda dominan el debate político. Mediante la psicometría y la psicopolítica digital, se intenta influir en el comportamiento electoral y evitar las decisiones conscientes. Byung-Chul Han describe la crisis de la democracia y la atribuye al cambio estructural de la esfera pública en el mundo digital. Y da nombre a este fenómeno: infocracia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The tsunami of information unleashed by digitization is threatening to overwhelm us, drowning us in a sea of frenzied communication and disrupting many spheres of social life, including politics. Election campaigns are now being waged as information wars with bots and troll armies, and democracy is degenerating into infocracy. In this new book, Byung-Chul Han argues that infocracy is the new form of rule characteristic of contemporary information capitalism. Whereas the disciplinary regime of industrial capitalism worked with compulsion and repression, this new information regime exploits freedom instead of repressing it. Surveillance and punishment give way to motivation and optimization: we imagine that we are free, but in reality our entire lives are recorded so that our behaviour might be psychopolitically controlled. Under the neoliberal information regime, mechanisms of power function not because people are aware of the fact of constant surveillance but because they perceive themselves to be free. This trenchant critique of politics in the information age will be of great interest to students and scholars in the humanities and social sciences and to anyone concerned about the fate of politics in our time., El legendario escritor de viajes recorre toda la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México, luego se adentra en el interior, en las carreteras secundarias de Chiapas y Oaxaca, para descubrir el mundo rico y estratificado detrás de los brutales titulares de hoy. Paul Theroux se ha pasado la vida recorriendo el mundo en busca de las historias y los pueblos que dan vida a los lugares que llaman hogar. Ahora, mientras los debates sobre inmigración hierven en todo el mundo, Theroux se ha propuesto explorar un país clave para comprender el discurso global actual: México. Justo al sur de la frontera de Arizona, en la región desértica de Sonora, encuentra un lugar rebosante de vitalidad, pero visiblemente marcado tanto por la Patrulla Fronteriza de Estados Unidos, como por la creciente discordia interna. Con la misma sensibilidad humanizadora que empleó en su libro anterior, Theroux se detiene a hablar con los residentes, visita a los trabajadores de los molinos zapotecas en el altiplano y asiste a una reunión del partido zapatista, comunicándose con personas de todas las tendencias que permanecen al sur de la frontera, incluso cuando sus familias se atreven a viajar al norte.
