Post-Industrial or Network Society

According to both Manuel Castells “The Rise of Network Society” (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010) and Loci Waquant “Urban Outcasts” (PolityPress, 2008)

Contemporary society needs to be understood as a Post-Industrial or Network Society.
FIRST, spell out Castells’ analysis of contemporary society. In doing this should focus on the inequalities generated by this society within its networks, the space of flows.

SECOND, discuss the inequalities generated outside or on the borders of the space of flows. Here you should make use of Waquant’s analysis of the underclass in America’s inner cities or what he refers to as the Dark Ghetto.

THREE – How would you evaluate these analyses?
