Another crack at that paragraph

In a number of key policy documents UNESCO specifically promotes the knowledge society as a model for sustainable social and economic development across underdeveloped regions. The knowledge society can be critically viewed from a number of perspectives; philosophical (Heidegger, Ellul, Winner), psychoanalytic (Zizek, Nietzsche), political (Marcuse, Schiller), sociological (Webster, Castells), from media studies (McLuhan, Innis) and cultural theory (Lyotard, Baudrillard, Foucault). My research will draw from across these perspectives to produce a cross-disciplinary analysis of UNESCO’s conceptualisation of the knowledge society, with a view to

• better understanding of how the knowledge society differs from prior conceptualisations of the post-industrial or information society,
• what knowledge means in different cultural contexts,
• and the impact that the knowledge society has on culture.
