Video: Renate Holub on Intellectuals and Information Capitalism

Yuk Hui films Renate Holub’s talk on ‘Elements for a Critical Theory of Intellectuals under Conditions of Informational Capitalism’, held at Goldsmiths, University of London, on December 9, 2010.

Renate Holub proposes that it is by linking the predominant features of informational capitalism to its embeddedness in larger processes of social evolutions in the information age that we can together engage in the development of new forms of norms and values in relation to global justice and democracy. 

In part 5, Yuk interviews Renate on behalf of Theory, Culture & Society.
