Masalov A. G., Rak V. А. TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF ANTHROPOLOGY OF
POSTINDUSTRIAL SOCIETY The article is devoted to the directions and aspects of
transformation of a human’s individuality in the modern world. Actuality of the article is
conditioned by the situation, when most works on this subject devoted to the technologies,
economy and history, while a second-rate role is given to a person.
The complex of futurology ideas, dedicated to the radical changes of society, culture
and a human under the influence of various technologies was certain as a philosophy of
postindustrial society. On the basis of works of row of researchers (D. Bell, E. Toffler, M.
Kastels, A. Negri, M. Khardt, J. Attali, A. Zinov'ev and others), basic anthropological
konceptions of “philosophy of postindustrialism” were analysed.
The possible tendencies of transformation of a human were examined in the context
of fragmentary perception of reality, «demassification» of culture, permanent changes of
information context, penetration of electronic devices in everyday life, achievements of the
gene engineering, transferring of social inequality to the global level.
The contradictory tendencies in forming of social identity in the process of
informative globalization were defined. The visible contradictions of the universalism and
pluralism in information society are removed by transferencing them both in the sphere of
pure ideological, and political (through a copula «knowledge» – «power») paradigms,
which applicable to the world of things and events depending on situation.
The ideological aspect of theory of information society, as a component part of
diskurs of power, was analysed in the context of situation of «the end of metanarrations»
and in connection with concrete historical and cultural terms.
Anthropological prognoses of futurology, considered as: a) a possible conseqence of
existent tendencies (prognostic aspect); b) a condition of some groups and parts of society
and world on the whole (diagnostic aspect); c) the state of society, desired by some groups
(project aspect).
The basic konceptions which have a direct relation to the construction of the
anthropology of postindustrial society were introducted: «a human as a commodity,
creating itself»; «a human, as a product of genetic manipulations»; the koncept of «the
kiborg»; «the new nomadism»; «a human in the chaos of information» (contextual
«dividuum»).
The derections of future actual researches are marked: connection between
interactiveness, as asymmetric phenomenon, language, as a tool of the derrivation of
meanings, and a power, as a practical expression of the hierarchies of networks, major from
which are accessible to the limited number of individuals.
Keywords: «postmodern», information society, postindustrial society, identity,
