Abstract

This article analyzes two different moments of the "knowledge society", both in relation to real social changes as in relation to the theoretical elaboration that goes along with them. The crisis of Fordism and the triumph of the neo-liberal policies are the background of the two models of "knowledge society". Although these models are presented as an alternative to the class society, our analysis shows that its contradictions persist and continue expressing in the knowledge society.
