INFORMATION CULTURES IN THE DIGITAL AGE KARTONI...

For several decades Rafael Capurro has been at the forefront of defining the relationship
between information and modernity through both phenomenological and ethical formulations. In
exploring both of these themes Capurro has re-vivified the transcultural and intercultural
expressions of how we bring an understanding of information to bear on scientific knowledge
production and intermediation. Capurro has long stressed the need to look deeply into how we
contextualize the information problems that scientific society creates for us and to
re-incorporate a pragmatic dimension into our response that provides a balance to the cognitive
turn in information science. With contributions from 35 scholars from 15 countries  Information
Cultures in the Digital Age focuses on the culture and philosophy of information  information
ethics  the relationship of information to message  the historic and semiotic understanding of
information  the relationship of information to power and the future of information education.
This Festschrift seeks to celebrate Rafael Capurro's important contribution to a global
dialogue on how information conceptualisation  use and technology impact human culture and the
ethical questions that arise from this dynamic relationship.
