« From industrial capitalism to imaterial capitalism: some elements of reflection » Alain Herscovici  >>> Download the communication (french)Economists and sociologists always faced difficulties on the studies of the nature and the social and economic functions of the imaterial activities linked to culture, information and knowledge. Besides the empirical observation, they do not elaborate any theoretical construction, capable of analysing the nature and amplitude of the social and economic disrupts that characterize the cognitive capitalism. The development of imaterial activities permits questioning the explicative value of the Labour Value Theory, as it was proposed by the Classic economists. In order to demonstrate this, it is necessary to study the new forms of productive work as well as the modalities of creation and social appropriation of the value. In the first part, based upon the limits of the merchandise form, I intend to show why the classical Labour Value Theory is uncapable of explaining the actual fase of the capitalism. I also intend to provide the explicative elements of the new forms of competition and valuation of capital. In a second part, I will define the new forms of value that carachterizes the post fordist capitalism and intend to show, based on Fernand Braudel´s work , in which manner this comtemporary form of capitalism inscribes it self in the long run evolution of the system. Finally, on the scope of an antropological, cultural and historical perspective, I will show the reasons why it`s possible to question the legitimacy of the propriety rights pertinent to the different forms of imaterial production. «Neoliberal transformation of CMI and politics :‘cybernanthropisation’ of the public sphere » Jean-Guy Lacroix After recalled in what et how the actual cultural industries, the information and the communication submerge the society, our paper will look, first, to determine what is the role of those sectors of human activities in the process of totalization of the alienation of the human subject (his systematization and systemization). In a second movement, we expect to show that the thesis of Castells (L’ère de l’information) et de Melucci (Challenging Code) on the relation between of the politic to the medias and «new social movements» hide the proper political dimension of the deterioration of the functioning of the public space (his «cybernanthropization», in reference to the work of Henri Lefebvre (Vers le cybernanthrope)) and of the subsomption of his democratic finality. «Transformations in the cultural industries in Mexico » José Carlos Lozano >>> Download
the communication The paper looks at the flow of television and film messages in Mexico, a developing country which signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the United States and Canada, agreement that went into effect January 1, 1994. After a review of the recent transformations of the Mexican audiovisual space, the paper discusses empirical data about the flow of television and film imports in Mexico and the degree of genre and content diversity. Political economists´ argument about the impact of a high concentration of media ownership in the ideological diversity of the genres and contents of media messages is checked against the empirical data on the audiovisual supply in the case of Mexico. « A Contemporary Art Scene without Borders : The Positions of Different Countries in ‘the Age of Globalization and Mixing’ An Empirical Survey of ‘High Culture’ and Globalization » Alain Quemin « Contradictions in editorial globalisation : the example of translations of literary and sociology works» Gisèle Sapiro |
