Ned Rossiter on Organized Networks

this ned rossiter has something to say

Organized Networks: Media Theory, Creative Labour, New Institutions

Following the Foucault and Deleuze tradition, Rossiter claims that current institutions are in crisis and in a urgent need for reform. The author defines two types of institutions: networked organizations centralized and hiearchical despited the rhetoric of apparent inclusion; organized networks "horizontal, collaborative and distributed in character offering a distinct social dynamic and transformational potential" [2].

"The book is split into three main sections, each with two chapters: the first, addressing the limits of democracy and organized networks; the second, tackling the creative industries, precarious labour and intellectual property; and the third, the virtuosity of 'general intellect' and 'processual democracy' to elaborate on the figure of 'organized networks'. The potential to transform social relations is somewhat demonstrated in the socio-technical dynamics of mailing lists, blogs, wikis, content management systems, and so on." [2]


Keywords: distributed, 'general intellect', 'immaterial labour', Autonomous Marxism.
