Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the main ideas of Mark Poster – an important member of Critical Theory Institute (University of California, Irvine). His theoretical work concerns contemporary French philosophy, Marxism, and media theory. Poster introduces the concept of the “mode of information” as a continuation and development of critical theory. The mode of information is rooted in Foucault’s thought, especially in the very term of discourse. Including analyses of electronical communication, it allows describing social field as a super-panopticon. According to Poster, the mode of information can be an important device to research such problems like family, leisure, work or politics.
