Abstract

Manuel Castells proposes a thesis on technoculture, a form of culture that is determined by technology. The revolution of technology determines the emergence of a new form of culture, a network society culture, which is characterized by its informational, networked, and global scale attribute. Castells’ sociological observation holds a philosophical dimension in relation to the cultural ontology of society, agent position, and form of communication in new technoculture. This paper intends to philosophically elaborate Castells’ thinking on the issue of the revolution of technology and its implication on culture, identity, society, capitalism, ideology, and agency. This paper argues that technoculture as a current epoche is a culture revolution in the age of network society. This kind of society is distinct from the past society which is possible by the progress of informational technology. The reflective thinking of this society is needed to perform analysis of the role of agent and disposition of the information age.
