Zapopan ------------- Article: The age of the corporate State versus the informational and cognitive public domain Author: By: Zapopan Martín Muela-Meza zapopanmuela(at)yahoo.com PhD research student in Information Studies University of Sheffield [English version] http://geocities.com/zapopanmuela/corpstatevspublicdomain.html [Spanish original] http://www.razonypalabra.org.mx/anteriores/n44/zmuela.html Sheffield, UK 28 February 2005 Abstract: This article analyse the concepts of the bourgeois State, the capitalistic corporations and the democratic public domain. The main thesis is that nowadays, inside the societies ruled by the capitalistic-imperialistic systems of production, the States are deeply fused to the corporations and both orders has transformed into one indivisible entity. Thus, it is analysed how along with the advent of this corporate State humankind arrives to one of its most dangerous stages, where if the alternative forces to capitalism-imperialism are not capable to force under the rule of law or dismantle its prime agent which is the corporation (capitalistic companies), then humankind is under peril to have its democratic order hollowed-out or destroyed completely by the corporate State. Particularly, throughout the paper there are evidences of how the corporate State has corroded already part of the public domain in the library sector by means of capitalistic commoditization and privatization of its services. Evidences expose the corporation's character of lacking of ethics, moral or markedly psychopathic. Finally, it is advocated for citizens to re-establish the public domain and to force corporations under the rule of law to be judged by the enforced legal accountability of responsibilities of each of its members on an individual basis as how actually happens to any common citizen of the public.
