Description
The concept of information has long been shaped by social, cultural, and conceptual practices. This book explores how the humanities can contribute to our understanding of information from various theoretical, historical, and global perspectives. By examining key terms and concepts, Information: Keywords highlights the humanistic nature of information practices and challenges the prevailing methodologies and assumptions in the field. The book sets forth a major humanistic vision of the concept of information, one that considers its role in social management and cultural expression. Together with its companion volume, Information: A Reader, this work offers a comprehensive understanding of information as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon.
