After postmodern critique has deconstructed, decentered, and displaced order and identity on all levels, we are faced with the Humpty Dumpty question of how to put the pieces back together again. This book brings together the seldom associated discourses of hermeneutics, actor-network theory, and new media in order to formulate a theory of a global network society. Hermeneutics re-opens the question of unity in a fragmented world. Actor-network theory reinterprets the construction of meaning as networking. New media studies show how networking is done. Networks arise, are maintained, and are transformed by communicative actions that are governed by network norms that make up a social operating system. The social operating system offers an alternative to the imperatives of algorithmic logic, functionality, and systemic closure that dominate present day solutions to problems of over-complexity in all areas. The world of meaning constructed by the social operating system is a mixed reality in which filters and layers replace the physical restraints of space and time as parameters of knowing and acting. Society and nature, humans and non-humans come together in a socio-sphere consisting of hybrid, heterogeneous actor-networks. This book proposes reinterpreting hermeneutics as networking and networking as guided by a social operating system whose norms are based on new media. There emerges a theory for a global network society described by different concepts than those typical of Western modernity. »Der Band [beeindruckt] nicht nur durch seine Eigenschaft, konzise Überblicke herzustellen, sondern auch dadurch, dass in den einzelnen Abschnitten immer wieder deutlich der Bezug zur Hauptthese hergestellt und durch Vor- und Rückgriffe eine dichte Argumentation geführt wird. Die Klarheit und Nachvollziehbarkeit des Textes lässt ihn dabei als eine einführende Lektüre in die ANT und ihre Anwendungsgebiete ebenso geeignet erscheinen wie als Ausgangspunkt oder Argument einer fortgesetzten Methoden-Diskussion.« Solvejg Nitzke, MEDIENwissenschaft, 3 (2015)

The information age has brought about a growing conflict between proponents of a data-driven society on the one side and demands for protection of individual freedom, autonomy, and dignity by means of privacy on the other. The causes of this conflict are rooted in the modern Western opposition of individual and society and a self-understanding of the human as an autonomous rational subject with an inalienable right to informational self-determination. Andréa Belliger and David J. Krieger propose a theory of information as a common good and redefine the individual as an informational self who exists in networks made up of both humans and nonhumans. Privacy is replaced by publicy and issues of data use and data protection are described in terms of governance instead of government. Besprochen in: gmk-Newsletter, 9 (2019)
