- A few reflections on #icts10: http://fuchs.uti.at/396/
- @martinberg i would agree to the statement "all academia is political and has its own politics". value-neutrality of science = myth #icts10
- e.g. the excellent critique of althusser conducted by e.p. thompson ("the poverty of theory"), etc #icts10
- @martinberg i agree, but the best critics of certain marxist critics were always marxist critics #icts10
- whereas once one mentions marx etc you hear words like dogma stalin etc which tells us a lot about unequal discourse conditions #icts10
- @martinberg so the power structure is the other way round: capitalist assumptions are normally not questioned #icts10
- @martinberg the problem is that in most contexts it is radically questioned if marxists dare to question capitalist assumptions #icts10
- ICTs and society studies need to focus on the general, the specific, and the individual. #icts10
