Abstract | In Neal Stephenson’s Diamond Age the world is transformed by a series of events surrounding the creation of a virtual learning environment in the formof a book, The Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer. It is a story of power, liberation, social division, and transformation. It is a fable of information technology and virtual learning environments in which the dustpan world of Stephenson’s novel is overcome. The social structures that create the virtual learning environment are transformed by its creation, creating a population that are critically aware of their situation and what they can do to change it. Similarly, virtual learning environments are transforming learning and thus transforming the world and our understanding of it. Inherently these environments, like all technological environments, contain systemic, ideological biases, and assumptions. We need to be critically aware of these environments, their biases and assumptions and the world that creates, endorses, and in the end supports them, so that we have the ability to understand our responsibilities toward not merely their usage, but their creation, and what is built into them, the biases, values, and ideological positions. For virtual learning, it is clear that human interests and social structures are politicized and embedded in the relationships of power found in the era of informational capitalism. The power is merely embedded not only in the social world, but also in our technics, our institutions, and our ecology. Informational capitalism has transformed the world and made it a more interesting and problematic place to live. In its moment, informational capitalism has transformed the landscape of education, brought about the advent of the virtual learning environments, a new contestation surfaces involving the manifold roles of information and knowledge, their centralization and distribution through society. In attempting to come to grips with these issues for virtual learning environments, I confront the spirit of informationalism as conceived by Manuel Castells. I question the explicit ideas for it in the context of online education as network enterprises. |

Abstract | In this article the cultural sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most eminent contemporary French sociologists, is reviewed and discussed. Originally a structuralist anthropologist, Bourdieu has developed a critical sociology of cultural forms. His methodological point of view is at one and the same time anti-functionalist, anti-empiricist and anti-subjectivist. The cultural forms of the practices of everyday life cannot be reduced to 'needs' of the individual any more than to the functional imperatives of the collectivity. They take the form of irreductible symbolic expressions, the meaning of which are not directly apparent to the subjects. Yet the subjects are not determined by the collective institutions in their practices. The central concept, 'habitus', aims at combining the subjective and the culturally determined collective elements in these practices. The substantial problematic of Bourdieu's sociology is to show how the cultural forms are expressions of the structure of domination in society. The most flamboyant realization of this problematic is his recent work La Distinction, which makes visible the system of class domination in modern France. It is a systematic study of the cultural forms in which this domination is revealed in the way of life of different classes and class fractions. This article aims to locate both Bourdieu's methodology and his interpretation of the cultural forms in modern France in the French intellectual scene as well as in the context of the sociology of culture in general. |

Abstract | This article analyzes the transformation in our conception of hacking over the past few decades to the current point where hackers are conceived as miscreants, vandals, criminals, and even terrorists. It argues that this transformation is more a function of contextual shifts than of changes in hacking itself. In particular, the hacker ethic, which eschews centralized, restricted access to computers and information, is inimical to the interests of established corporate and government powers, including particularly intellectual property and order. Central to this article's argument is that the transformation has been achieved not through direct public debate over conflicting ideals and interests, but through an ontological shift mediated by supportive agents of key societal institutions: legislative bodies, the courts, and the popular media. |
