Diferenciranje društvenih grupa prema glavnim vrsta
ma podele rada odvija se u sprezi s diferenciranjem njihovih
položaja u strukturi odnosa političke, statusne, »pasivne-« i
ekonomske moći. Kako su izvori glavnih oblika društvene
moći relativno autonomni i između političke, profesionalne
i ekonomske dimenzije socijalne stratifikacije nema potpune
podudarnosti. Usled toga nema ni asimetričnog proizvođe

glavnih linija podele rada, oblikuju se četiri osnovna društ
vena sloja — politička elita, srednji sloj, radništvo i se
ljaštvo — koji su i sami horizontalno fragmentirani i verti

tvenih oblika više upućuje na postojanje elitističkog, nego
klasnog obrasca socijalne strukture.

Ian Bogost believes that an "algorithmic society" is a myth, and believes that we treat algorithms as a religion. I don’t want to downplay the role of computation in contemporary culture. Striphas and Manovich are right—there are computers in and around everything these days. But the algorithm has taken on a particularly mythical role in…
On November 27, 1754, German naturalist, ethnologist, travel writer, journalist, and revolutionary Georg Forster was born. At an early age, he accompanied his father on several scientific expeditions, including James Cook's second voyage to the Pacific.
