Cyfrowa nowoczesność a kapitał społeczny (intersubiektywność spojrzenia na digitalizację przekazu informacji w okresie zmiany społecznej)
Digital modernity and social capital (intersubjectivity of a perspective on digitalisation of information transmission in the period of social change)

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the role of social capital in the development and perception of modern information technologies. What influenced personal and author’s views was an invitation to the conference devoted to, among other things, the impact of new information technologies on the functioning of the contemporary postindustrial society. On the basis of the issue raised, the author confronts the already-reached achievements in this field in Poland, arguing that traditional communities, in contrast to modern structures, limit a mass social participation in terms of the approval of patterns, norms and values propagated, among others, in the culture of digital modernity represented mostly by the Internet and real democracy. The author makes an attempt to pay the Reader’s attention to the native situation within the scope discussed here, which is marked by numerous contradictions.
