This new period is variously defined as “post-industrial,” “information society” or the “electronic-digital age”. In this course we will employ a long-term historical perspective by also underlining key points of radical transformation. We will analyze the long-waves of twentieth century capitalism, the Fordist/Industrial and post-Fordist/post-Industrial societies and the rise of the information society since 1970s. |
