"For decades, we have been told we live in the "information age"-a time when disruptive
technological advancement has reshaped the categories and social uses of knowledge
and when quantitative assessment is increasingly privileged. Such methodologies and
concepts of information are usually considered the provenance of the natural and social
sciences, which present them as politically and philosophically neutral. Yet the humanities
should and do play an important role in interpreting and critiquing the historical,
cultural, and conceptual nature of information. This book is one of two companion
volumes that explore theories and histories of information from a humanistic perspective.
They consider information as a long-standing feature of social, cultural, and conceptual
management, a matter of social practice, and a fundamental challenge for the humanities
today. Bringing together essays by prominent critics, Information: Keywords highlights
the humanistic nature of information practices and concepts by thinking through key
terms. It describes and anticipates directions for how the humanities can contribute
to our understanding of information from a range of theoretical, historical, and global
perspectives. Together with Information: A Reader, it sets forth a major humanistic
vision of the concept of information"
