Transparency Society

Abstract

Transparency Society, written by Byung-Chul Han, responds critically to questions such as “how has the society evolved and became transparent due to communication technologies”, and then “how have these transparent social structures changed?” The book focuses on how communication makes a society transparent and how this transparent communication transforms society via digital communication technologies. In his study, Han deals with the transformation of social technologies with the development of communication technologies through transparent communication, control society, and digital panopticon. In this context, it is possible to say that the basic of Han’s work is how the understanding of freedom in the transparent social structure is restructured in a controlled society. In the context of critical approach, Han’s transparency has been included in the review work on the thoughts on society.
