Article / The imaginary matrix of new technologies
Abstract /
The expression “new technologies of information and communication” and its reality constitutes the center of journalistic, politic and business discourses. Its indiscriminate use as the subject of all kind of promises commits oneself to make an analysis of its conditions of possibility and of representation. This article analyses the imaginary matrix of contemporary society, inside of which particular significations that were technologies adopt today are made feasible.
