This paper provides a synoptic view of 'cybernetic capitalism' - a term that attempts to capture the leading sector developments within modern capitalism and to profile the leading accounts of these developments. 'Cybernetic capitalism' is a term used in this paper in order to distinguish a group of theories, or, better, positions, on the Left that attempt to theorize the nature of the new capitalism. 'Third capitalism' (after mercantilism and industrialism) now relies on a systems architecture that draws on cybernetics and modern supercomputing that connects five aspects of cybernetic capitalism: informational capitalism, cultural capitalism, cognitive capitalism, finance capitalism and biocapitalism. The paper examines two of these groups, namely informational capitalism and cognitive...

Relying on previously unexplored archival materials, interviews, and published works, Turner tells a complex and detailed story that begins in the 1940s with the new field of cybernetics, which is the study of complex systems, and with the collaborative, interdisciplinary work styles of World War II research labs. Out of this period come two of the dominant intellectual paradigms of the post-World War II era - the celebration of technology and the value of collaboration. The Whole Earth Catalog; the WELL, a famous online forum; and Wired magazine all enabled Brand and others to discuss the role of technology in private life and society and to communicate their ideas to the public. In the final few pages of the book, Turner points out what the Utopian vision of the Internet ignores, in...
Cybernetic devices—extensions, replacements, and upgrades that interface directly with the human nervous system—are becoming increasingly advanced and commonplace. Impending developments in neuroscience technology, including brain–computer interfaces and robotic prosthetics that surpass levels of ordinary human functionality, will raise novel legal and ethical questions. This Note argues that these enhancement technologies will create problems for people covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). Congress recently amended the ADA to bar courts from taking mitigating factors into account when determining whether a claimant is ADA-protected. The ADA and its amendments embody disability by legislating the existence of disability as within the body of the disabled, rather th...

We question Systems Theory by adopting a Bakhtinian dialogism approach. We argue that a dialogism approach gets us beyond first order cybernetic (control) and second order (open) system thinking to a third order cybernetics (multi-dialogisms). We believe third order cybernetic theory is an extension of Bakhtin's work. We explore how dialogue is not equivalent to polyphonic dialogism; the later does not assume being in same time and space, as in some meeting. Further, we look at three other dialogisms (stylistic, chronotopic, & architectonic). Multi-dialogisms raise questions for dialog, learning, and appreciative inquiry approaches. We conclude with insights on how dialogism is already a part of organization practice, and ways to enhance dialogic competence.

According to the ILO, the exploitation of migrant workers often takes the form of forced labor: work or service that is exacted under the peril of a penalty and undertaken involuntarily. 6 It consists essentially of exploitation in the place where the work or service is provided. 7 Migrant workers are subjected to forced labor, for example, in the sweatshops of China, the households of Hong Kong, the fish farms of Burma, the garments industries of Bangladesh, the plantations of Malaysia, and homes, ranches, and construction sites in the Middle East.\n For example, American diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Doha, Qatar collaborated with the Qatar Foundation to sponsor a workshop and competition for budding filmmakers.
