Manuel Castells słynne cytaty

„Ruchy społeczne powstają ze sprzeczności i konfliktów konkretnych społeczeństw i wyrażają protest społeczny oraz projekty wynikające wielowymiarowego ludzkiego doświadczenia. Należy jednak przy tym pamiętać o krytycznym znaczeniu komunikowania się w formowaniu i tworzeniu praktyki ruchów społecznych.”

„Globalny system gospodarczy przechodzi wielką transformację – od kapitalizmu przemysłowego opartego na industrializmie, do kapitalizmu informacyjnego, którego zasadą jest informacjonizm. Industrializm jest zorientowany na wzrost gospodarczy, tj. na maksymalizację produkcji; informacjonizm jest zorientowany na rozwój technologiczny, tj. na akumulację wiedzy oraz na wyższy poziom złożoności w przetwarzaniu informacji.”

„Tym, co jest specyficzne dla informacyjnego sposobu rozwoju, jest oddziaływanie wiedzy na samą wiedzę jako główne źródło wydajności.”

„Takie jest więc pokłosie kryzysu: dysfunkcjonalne pozostałości modelu ekonomicznego opartego na systemie finansowym niezdolnym do autonaprawy; przesunięcie akumulacji kapitału ze starych centrów, które się zwirtualizowały na śmierć do nowych peryferiów posiadających i wytwarzających realną gospodarkę jednak jeszcze bez zdolności do pełnej nad nią kontroli; system polityczny w ruinie w większości krajów powalony przez siły autodestrukcji i brak uprawomocnienia ze strony mas coraz mniej ufających swoim liderom; społeczeństwo obywatelskie w rozsypce, gdy okazało się że stare organizacje społeczne okazały się pustymi skorupami, a nowi aktorzy zmiany społecznej dopiero się rodzą; w końcu najważniejsza cecha owego krajobrazu: stara kultura gospodarcza stabilizująca strukturę społeczną m. in. za sprawą wiary w rynek i zaufania do banków straciła swą moc przekonywania, nowe kultury polegające na tłumaczeniu wartości życia na wartości ekonomiczne ciągle dopiero się tworzą.”

„[Ruchy społeczne z ostatnich lat] proponują nową utopię usieciowionej demokracji opartej na lokalnych społecznościach i wirtualnych wspólnotach w interakcji. Utopie nie są jednak jedynie fantazjami. Większość współczesnych ideologii politycznych podbudowujących systemy polityczne (liberalizm, socjalizm, komunizm) ma swe korzenie w utopiach. Bo utopie nabierają materialnej siły ucieleśniając się w umysłach ludzi, inspirując ich marzenia i wywołując ich reakcje.”

„Dopóki rządy nie przestaną się bać swoich obywateli i co za tym idzie, Internetu, społeczeństwo raz jeszcze ruszy na barykady, aby bronić wolności, co będzie zadziwiającym objawem ciągłości historycznej.”

„Stare pytanie społeczeństwa przemysłowego – w istocie kamień węgielny klasycznej ekonomii politycznej – „czym jest wartość?” nie znajduje definitywnej odpowiedzi w globalnym społeczeństwie sieci. Wartością jest wszystko to, co jest przetwarzane w każdej z dominujących sieci w każdym momencie i w każdym skrawku przestrzeni zgodnie z hierarchią zaprogramowaną w sieci przez oddziałujących na sieć aktorów.”

Manuel Castells: Cytaty po angielsku

“The anti-globalization movement is not simply a network, it is an electronic network, it is an Internet-based movement. And because the Internet is its home it cannot be disorganized or captured. It swims like fish in the net”

“The promise of the Information Age is the unleashing of unprecedented productive capacity by the power of the mind. I think, therefore I produce. In so doing, we will have the leisure to experiment with spirituality, and the opportunity of reconciliation with nature, without sacrificing the material wellbeing of our children. The dream of the Enlightenment, that reason and science would solve the problems of humankind, is within reach.”

“An analysis [of urban space] is possible only if one reduces social action to a language and social relations to systems of communication. The ideological displacement carried out in this perspective consists in passing from one method of mapping traces of social practice through its effects on the organization of space to a principle of organization deduced from the formal expression listed, as if social organization were a code and urban structure a set of myths.”

“In sum, all the key technological developments that led to the internet were built around government institutions, major universities and research centers. The Internet did not orginate in the business world. It was too daring a technology, too expensive a project, and too risky an initiative to be assumed by profit-oriented organizations.”

“Politics becomes a horse race, and a tragicomedy motivated by greed, backstage manoeuvres, betrayals, and, often, sex and violence – a genre increasingly indistinguishable from TV scripts.”

“This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theory of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identified by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in various cultural and institutional manifestations, as the industrial society characterized the social structure of both capitalism and statism for most of the twentieth century.”

“Globalisation is highly selective. It proceeds by linking up all that, according to dominant interests, has value anywhere in the planet, and discarding anything which has no value or becomes devalued, in a variable geometry of creative destruction and destructive creation of value.”

“The collective fascination of the entire planet with action movies where the protagonists are the players in organized crime cannot be explained just by the repressed urge for violence in out psychological make up. It may well indicate the cultural breakdown of traditional moral order, and the implicit recognition of a new society, made up of communal identity and unruly competition, of which global crime is a condensed expression.”

“The most blatant illustration of this statement is the fact that in 1972, Larry Roberts, the director of IPTO, sought to privatize ARPANET, once it was up and running. He offered to transfer operational responsibility to ATT. After considering the proposal, with the help of a committee of experts from Bell Laboratories, the company refused.”

“But we are not just witnessing a relativisation of time according to social contexts or alternatively the return to time reversibility as if reality could become entirely captured in cyclical myths. The transformation is more profound: it is the mixing of tenses to create a forever universe, not self-expanding but self-maintaining, not cyclical but random, not recursive but incursive: timeless time, using technology to escape the contexts of its existence, and to appropriate selectively any value each context could offer to the ever-present. I argue that this is happening now not only because capitalism strives to free itself from all constraints, since this has been the capitalist system’s tendency all along, without being able fully to materialize it. Neither is it sufficient to refer to the cultural and social revolts against clock time, since they have characterized the history of the last century without actually reversing its domination, indeed furthering its logic by including clock time distribution of life in the social contract. Capital’s freedom from time and culture’s escape from the clock are decisively facilitated by new information technologies, and embedded in the structure of the network society.
The transformation of time as surveyed in this chapter does not concern all processes, social groupings, and territories in our societies, although it does affect the entire planet. What I call timeless time is only the emerging, dominant form of social time in the network society, as the space of flows does not negate the existence of places. It is precisely my argument that social domination is exercised through the selective inclusion and exclusion of functions and people in different temporal and spatial frames.”

“We must conceive of opposition to decisions relating to urban planning as something more than "consumer-reaction" and, consequently, we must link it to the whole range of social contradictions and look into the conditions for the emergence and the determination of the objectives of social movements in the urban field."”

“In the end if the system still ‘works’ it is because women guarantee unpaid transportation… because they repair their homes, because they make meals when there are no canteens, because they spend more time shopping around, because they look after others’ children when there are no nurseries, and because they offer ‘free entertainment’ to the producers when there is a social vacuum and the absence of cultural creativity. If these women who ‘do nothing’ ever stopped to do ‘only that’, the whole urban structure as we know it would become completely incapable of maintaining its function”

“There is a multilayering of global networks in the key strategic activities that structure and destructure the planet. When these multilayered networks overlap in some node, when there is a node that belongs to different networks, two major consequences follow. First, economies of synergy between these different networks take place in that node: between financial markets and media businesses; or between academic research and technology development and innovation; between politics and media.”
