Dear FIS Colleagues,
I think this new book to appear celebrating our colleague Rafael Capurro
can be of interest.

New book to be published by Springer in July 2016.
/Information Cultures in the Digital Age: A Festschrift in Honor of
Rafael Capurro /(Edited by Matthew Kelly & Jared Bielby)
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.
The Editors: Matthew Kelly is a scholar at Curtin University’s
Department of Information Studies and at the International Institute for
Hermeneutics. Jared Bielby currently serves as Co-Chair for the
International Center for Information Ethics and Editor for the
International Review of Information Ethics.
