    1. hypothsis

      Annotations:

      • My working hypothesis is that the most fundamental form of power lies in the ability to shape the human mind. The way we feel and think determines the way we act. both individually and collectively.
      1. understanding

        Annotations:

        •    This is the subject matter of this book. Why or how. and by whom power relationships are constructed and exercised though the management communication processes. and how these power relationships can be altered by social actors aiming for social change by influencing the public mind.   
        1. coercion

          Annotations:

          • Yes. coercion. and the capacity to exercise it. legitimate or not, is an essential source of power. But coercion alone cannot stabilize domination.
          1. constent

            Annotations:

            •    The ability to build consent. or at least to instill fear and resignation vis-a-vis the existing order. is essential to enforce the rules that govern the institutions and organizations of society.     
            1. social norm

              Annotations:

              •    And these rules. in all societies, manifest power relationships embedded in the institutions as a result of processes of struggle and compromise between conflicting social actors who mobilize for their interests under the banner of their values.    Furthermore, the process of institutionalizing norms and rules and the challenge to these norms and rules by actors who do not feel adequately represented in the workings of the system go on simultaneously. in a relentless movement of reproduction of society and production of social change.   
              1. everyday life

                Annotations:

                •  If the fundamental battle about the definition of the norms of society, and the application of these norms in everyday life. revolves around the shaping of the human mind communication is central to this battle. Because it is through communication that the human mind interacts with its social and natural environment
                1. structuration

                  Annotations:

                  • This process of communication operates according to the structure. Culture organization, and technology of communication in a given society. The communication process decisively mediates the way in which power relationships are constructed and challenged in every domain of Social practice. including political practice.
              2. power and counter power

                Annotations:

                • intervention:the results of this analysis to what communication research knows about the conditioning of political communication by social and political actors deliberately intervening in the media and other communication networks to foster their interest . through mechanisms such as agenda-setting. framing. and priming of the news and other messages. The purpose, ambitious enough, is to propose a new approach to understanding  power in the network society. I will focus my effort on studying the current processes of asserting political power and counter power
                1. network society

                  Annotations:

                  •     the social structure that characterizes society in the early twenty-first century. a social structure constructed around (but not determined by digital networks of communication. I contend that the process of formation and exercise of power relationships is decisively transformed in the new organizational and technological context derived from the rise of global digital networks of communication as the fundamental symbol-processing system of our time.   
                  1. three components

                    Annotations:

                    •    Network Society Thus. the first three chapters of this book are inextricably linked because an understanding of the construction of power relationships through communication :in the network society requires the integration of the three key components of the process explored separately in each one of the chapters: * The structural determinants of social and political power in the global   network society. * The structural determinants of the process of mass communication under the organizational, cultural and technological conditions of our time. * The cognitive processing of the signals presented by the communication system to the human mind as it relates to politically relevant social practice.   
                    1. horizontal network

                      Annotations:

                      •    horizontal networks of communication built around the Internet and wireless communication. Indeed these horizontal networks make possible the rise of what I call mass self-communication. decisively increasing the autonomy of communicating subjects vis-a-vis communication corporations. as the users become both senders and receivers of messages.   
                      1. cognitive interaction

                        Annotations:

                        •    In this book, I combine my own expertise on social-political analysis and the study of communication technologies with the works of scholars investigating the interaction between the brain and political power in order to build a body of observation that may provide a measure of the relevance of this interdisciplinary approach. I have explored the sources of political power relationships in our world by trying to link the structural dynamics of the network society, the transformation of the communication system, the interaction between emotions, cognition. and political behavior, and the study of politics and social movements in a variety of contexts. Therefore, the analysis of power relationships requires an understanding of the specificity of the forms and processes of socialized communication, which in the network society means both the multimodal mass media and the interactive.   
                        1. Deep understanding

                          Annotations:

                          • However, to explain how power is constructed in our minds through communication processes, we need to go beyond how and by whom messages are originated in the process of power-making and transmitted/ formatted in the electronic networks of communication. We must also understand how they are processed in the networks of the brain. it is in the specific forms of connection between networks of communication and meaning in our world and networks of communication and meaning in our brains that the mechanisms of power-making can ultimately be identified.
                        2. self-communication

                          Annotations:

                          •    Thus, the rise of mass self-communication as I call the new forms of networked communication, enhances the opportunities for social change, so our increased capacity to act on society will simply project into the open who we really are in each time/space context.   
                          1. the role of audience

                            Annotations:

                            •     both the mass media and the horizontal networks of interactive communication, focusing on both their differences and their intersections. I study the transformation of the media audience from receptors of messages to senders/receivers of messages and I explore the relationship between this transformation and the process of cultural change in our world. Finally, I identify the power relationships embedded : in the mass-communication system and in the network infrastructure on which communication depends, and I explore the connections between business, media. and politics.   
                            1. from structure to agency

                              Annotations:

                              •     Having set up the structural determinants of the relationship between power and communication in the network society. I change the perspective of my analysis from the structure to the agency. If power works by acting on the human mind by the means of communicating messages, we need to understand how the human mind processes these messages, and how this processing translates into the political realm.   
                              1. inidivudal decision-making

                                Annotations:

                                •     to unveil the processes of individual political decision-making revealing in terms of the relationship between mental processes, metaphorical thinking, and political image-making. I think that the research of the school of affective intelligence, and other works of political communication, provide a most-needed bridge between social structuration and the individual processing of power relationship.   
                                1. media politics

                                  Annotations:

                                  • network society, politics is fundamentally media politics, focusing on its epitome, the politics of scandal, and relating the results of the analysis to the worldwide crisis of political legitimacy that challenges the meaning of democracy in much of the world. Chapter 5 explores how social movements and agents of political change proceed in our society through the reprogramming of communication networks, so becoming able to convey messages that :introduce new values to the minds of people and inspire hope for political change. Both chapters will deal with the specific role of mass media and horizontal communication networks. as media politics and social movements use both sets of networks, and as media networks and Internet networks are inter-related.
                                2. universal feature

                                  Annotations:

                                  • because the network society is global, and so are the global communication  networks, while cognitive processes in the human mind universaLly share basic features, albeit with a  range of variation in the cultural forms of their manifestation. After all, power relationships are the foundational relations of society throughout history geography and cultures. And if power relationships are constructed in the human mind through communication processes.

                                •    standardization and raionalization of the culture distribution techniques expressed in the perennial conflict between artists active in the culture industry and those who control it - individual forms of production are nevertheless maintained.

                                    •    self-negation: instead of exposing itself to this failure in which the style of the great work of art has always achieved self-negation,the inferior work has always relied on its similarity with others -on in a surrogate identity. 与其暴露失败,伟大的作品都是实现自我否定,瑕疵的作品总是依赖相似性与其他 代理人的身份

                                      Annotations:

                                      •    1negative truth: the great artists were never those who embodied a wholly flawless and perfect style,but those who used style as a way of hardening themselves against the chaotic expression of suffering,as a negative truth. 伟大的艺术家并不是拥有完美无瑕的作品,强化自己风格 对抗吵杂环境,作为消极的诊真理

When the outsider is excluded from the concern, he can only too easily be accused of incompetence.   Whereas today in material production the mechanism of supply and demand is disintegrating, in the superstructure it still operates as a check in the rulers' favor. The consumers are the workers and employees, the farmers and lower middle class.   Capitalist production so confines them, body and soul, that they fall helpless victims to what is offered them. As naturally as the ruled always took the morality imposed upon them more seriously than did the rulers themselves, the deceived masses are today captivated by the myth of success even more than the successful are.

Pseudo individuality is the prerequisite for comprehending tragedy and removing its poison: only because individuals have ceased to be themselves and are now merely centers where the general tendencies meet, is it possible to receive them again, whole and entire, into the generality.The principle of individuality was always full of contradiction. Individuation has never really been achieved.

The reconciliation of the general and particular, of the rule and the specific demands of the subject matter, the achievement of which alone gives essential, meaningful content to style, is futile because there has ceased to be the slightest tension between opposite poles: these concordant extremes are dismally identical; the general can replace the particular, and vice versa.

Far from costing time, it saved it. Today, when the free market is coming to an end, those who control the system are entrenching themselves in it. It strengthens the firm bond between the consumers and the big combines. Only those who can pay the exorbitant rates charged by the advertising agencies, chief of which are the radio networks themselves; that is, only those who are already in a position to do so, or are co-opted by the decision of the banks and industrial capital, can enter the pseudo-market as sellers. The costs of advertising, which finally flow back into the pockets of the combines, make it unnecessary to defeat unwelcome outsiders by laborious competition.They guarantee that power will remain in the same hands
