NetWork: Digital Labour, Profit, and Exploitation

This course familiarizes students with debates about and theories used in the analysis of labour in the “information society.” Labour and “social” media, open source software, media piracy, and other contemporary internet phenomena are all areas that are analysed with respect to their role in the reproduction of capital and attendant forms of exploitation, domination, repression, resistance, and subversion.
