Cybernetization
As cybernetisation (derived from Cybernetics ) is defined as the closure of a self-referential informational network or system which controls and regulates itself more and more. With self-referential closure it is meant that the system is not dependent on information and control impulses from outside.
Technical and socio-technical systems
Cybernetization of technical or socio-technical (also work) systems describes the replacement of traditional control and monitoring concepts by mechanisms of self-regulation, feedback and networking. In this context, so-called cyborg science reflects the penetration of technology into the sociosphere and the human body.
Social systems
The term cybernetization of social systems denotes the increase in their reflexive self-organization skills on the basis of classic forms of discipline and control. Learning is an important form of feedback. It is based on symbolic information infrastructures, starting with writing and ending with big data , and increasingly on technology that is close to the body, such as the smartphone .
pedagogy
While cybernetics regards humans as a complex functional and behavioral mechanism that is not fundamentally different from machines, and in the 1960s great hopes were placed in a behavioral and information-theoretical penetration and structuring of the pedagogical process, today cybernetization is at best used in pedagogy understood in the sense of increasing the learning ability of individuals in the mode of a controlled development, whereby control means self-control and self-activity.
journalism
In journalism and in more recent media theory , cybernetysization denotes the tendency that journalistic work routines increasingly relate to other journalistic work routines and no longer to the recipients or the audience ; it is a cybernetic closure of the system .
According to this hypothesis , “Topics [...] are not made with regard to potential interests in the environment (ie: on the public), but with regard to optimizing and maintaining the editorial structure and one's own position within the editorial system [...]; Journalistic topic preferences are thus highly contingent and only reflect what other journalists are interested in (or what journalists believe people are interested in) ” .
The phenomenon, along with other observations, is known as the autopoietization or autologization of journalism.
