Bio-Informational Philosophy and Postdigital Knowledge Ecologies
Sun, April 24, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), Manchester Grand Hyatt, Floor: 3rd Level, Seaport Tower, Golden Hill ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Postdigital knowledge ecologies are mutually constitutive with bioinformational capitalism based on a self-organizing and self-replicating code that harnesses both the results of the information and new biology revolutions and brings them together in a powerful alliance. In general public, bioinformational capitalism develops new media ecologies burdened by post-truth, fake news, infodemics, etc. In scholarly research, new knowledge ecologies are built upon emerging forms of scientific communication, big data deluge, opacity of algorithmic operations, etc. Based on theories of bioinformationalism, viral modernity, the postdigital condition, and others, this symposium explores: Which new knowledge ecologies are now emerging; which philosophies and research approaches do they require?
