Special issue: Philosophers of the World Unite! Theorising Digital Labour
and Virtual Work - Definitions, Dimensions and Forms
Edited by Marisol Sandoval, Christian Fuchs, Jernej A. Prodnik, Sebastian
Sevignani, Thomas Allmer
in context of the COST Action Dynamics of Virtual Work
<a href="http://dynamicsofvirtualwork.com/" target="_blank">http://dynamicsofvirtualwork.com/</a>
This special issue of tripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique aims to
contribute to building a theoretical framework for the critical analysis of
digital labour, virtual work, and related concepts that can initiate further
debates, inform empirical studies, and inspire social struggles connected to
work and labour in and beyond digital capitalism. The papers collected in
this special issue (a) provide systematic definitions of digital labour, (b)
analyse its specific dimension, and (c) discuss different forms of digital
labour.
The papers collected in this special issue theorise digital labour as a
multifaceted field characterised by exploitation, alienation,
precariousness, power, inequality, ideology, and struggle. These problems of
digital labour are however not inherent to digital technology as such but
result from its inclusion and application in capitalist relations of
production.
Theorising digital labour, as labour that produces or makes use of digital
technologies, can help to understand its problems, limits, potentials, and
contradictions. It can therefore highlight the need for social change and
inspire political action. However, the act of freeing digital technology
from being an instrument for the domination of labour requires to go beyond
just interpreting the world and to engage in social struggles that want to
change it.
