“Capitalism […] is approaching an apocalyptic zero-point” (Slavoj Žižek).

What is the role of communication in the general situation of capitalist
crisis?
The global economic downturn is an indicator of a new worldwide
capitalist crisis. The main focus of most public debates as well as of
economic and policy analyses is the role of finance capital and the
housing market in creating the crisis, less attention is given to the
role of communication technologies, the media, and culture in the world
economic crisis. The task of this special issue of tripleC is to present
analyses of the role of ICTs, the media, and culture in the current
crisis of capitalism. The seven papers focus on the causes, development,
and effects of the crisis. Each paper relates one or more of these
dimensions to ICTs, the media, or culture.
