Globalização e tirania da informação: a formação de cidadãos na democracia neoliberal

Abstract

This article, from a review of the Milton Santos’ book "Por uma outra globalização: do pensamento único à consciência universal", seeks the understanding the relation among globalization, media and its influence on citizen engagement in contemporaneity. Few other latin-american authors, like Nestor Garcia Canclini, Jesus Martín-Barbero and Juan Diaz Bordenave, make relation to this topic, seeking the understanding on how centralised information influences on people and communities, how identities are formed at global linked world, and the influence of mass media on vision that citizen have from themselves and its role in relation to the territory they inhabitate.
