  1. Social Capital Online : Alienation and Accumulation
    Published: 2018

    "What is ‘social capital’? The enormous positivity surrounding it conceals the instrumental economic rationality underpinning the notion as corporations silently sell consumer data for profit. Status chasing is just one aspect of a process of transforming qualitative aspects of social interactions into quantifiable metrics for easier processing, prediction, and behavioural shaping.

     

    A work of critical media studies, Social Capital Online examines the idea within the new ‘network spectacle’ of digital capitalism via the ideas of Marx, Veblen, Debord, Baudrillard and Deleuze. Explaining how such phenomena as online narcissism and aggression arise, Faucher offers a new theoretical understanding of how the spectacularisation of online activity perfectly aligns with the value system of neoliberalism and its data worship. Even so, at the centre of all, lie familiar ideas – alienation and accumulation – new conceptions of which he argues are vital for understanding today’s digital society."

  2. The Spectacle 2.0 : Reading Debord in the Context of Digital Capitalism
    Contributor: Armano, Emiliana (Publisher); Briziarelli, Marco (Publisher)
    Published: 2017
    Publisher:  University of Westminster Press

    Spectacle 2.0 recasts Debord's theory of spectacle within the frame of 21st century digital capitalism. It offers a reassessment of Debord’s original notion of Spectacle from the late 1960s, of its posterior revisitation in the 1990s, and it presents... more

     

    Spectacle 2.0 recasts Debord's theory of spectacle within the frame of 21st century digital capitalism. It offers a reassessment of Debord’s original notion of Spectacle from the late 1960s, of its posterior revisitation in the 1990s, and it presents a reinterpretation of the concept within the scenario of contemporary informational capitalism and more specifically of digital and media labour. It is argued that the Spectacle 2.0 form operates as the interactive network that links through one singular (but contradictory) language and various imaginaries, uniting diverse productive contexts such as logistics, finance, new media and urbanism. Spectacle 2.0 thus colonizes most spheres of social life by processes of commodification, exploitation and reification. Diverse contributors consider the topic within the book’s two main sections: Part I conceptualizes and historicizes the Spectacle in the context of informational capitalism; contributions in Part II offer empirical cases that historicise the Spectacle in relation to the present (and recent past) showing how a Spectacle 2.0 approach can illuminate and deconstruct specific aspects of contemporary social reality. All contributions included in this book rework the category of the Spectacle to present a stimulating compendium of theoretical critical literature in the fields of media and labour studies. In the era of the gig-economy, highly mediated content and President Trump, Debord’s concept is arguably more relevant than ever.

    Knowledge in the Age of Digital Capitalism proposes a new critical theory concerning the functioning of capitalism and how we consider knowledge and information. This ambitious book systematically and lucidly introduces contemporary phenomena into the framework of cognitive materialism to address some of the great themes of the social sciences: knowledge, exploitation and social class in an account of capitalism as totality in the present day. Author Mariano Zukerfeld reinvigorates materialist study of communications, presenting a typology of knowledge to explain the underlying material forms of information, intellectual property and cognitive work in contemporary societies. Using current examples the book also examines concerns such as free labour and the pivotal role of intellectual property. The book offers nothing less than an introduction to the theory of cognitive materialism and an account of the entirety of the digital (or knowledge) capitalism of our time.

Schwenkenberg Although converging somewhat, men are still economically more successful than women. These stark economic differences prevail in the United States and in virtually all countries throughout the world. This volume contains a number of important new articles analyzing reasons for continuing gender discrepancies in wellbeing. To get at these incongruities, the volume analyzes a number of key questions including: Do men seek greater financial risk than women? Do men really bargain better, and under what circumstances? Why are women rapidly closing the college enrollment gap, but not the wage gap? How do educational choices affect men's and women's starting salaries? What are the chances of women attaining the same occupational status as men? And, how does intergenerational socioeconomic mobility differ between sons and daughters? The answers will not only further our understanding of resource distribution, but will also inform the policy debate on where within society one finds discriminatory practices and where one does not

Each paper uniquely contributes toward significantly exploring accounting's role in disenfranchising populations while identifying participants actualized and potential role in emancipatory struggles.

    Geschichte und Gegenwart des Völkerrechts stehen im Mittelpunkt des Gesprächs, das Monika Dommann, Svenja Goltermann und Kijan Espahangizi mit Anne Peters geführt haben, Direktorin am Max-Planck-Institut für ausländisches öffentliches Recht und Völkerrecht. Um Völkerrecht geht es auch, allerdings einen recht spezifischen Punkt, in Thomas Thiemeyers und Jochen von Bernstorffs Darlegung der Probleme im Fall der Rückgabe geraubter Güter an Namibia. Über Arbeit, Arbeiter und Arbeitslosigkeit in Afrika schreibt Andreas Eckert. Thomas E. Schmidt liest Proust und erkennt in der Figur des Baron de Charlus die Genealogie des europäischen Geistesmenschen. In seiner Bildungskolumne denkt Roland Reichenbach darüber nach, wie in pädagogischen Kontexten der Körper der Lehrerin beziehungsweise des Lehrers thematisiert werden könnte. Hannes Bajohr unternimmt eine Tour d'horizon durch Texte und Diskurse zum Anthropozän. Steffen Siegel liest neue und ältere Bücher zu Aby Warburg. Martin Hartmann hält den Neid für einen unter Umständen sehr wohl verteidigenswerten Impuls. Der Philosoph Markus Rautzenberg geht dem Wesen des Ressentiments mit David Foster Wallace, Nietzsche und Stanley Cavell auf den Grund. Und Robin Detje liebt in seiner Schlusskolumne diesmal alles, vor allem aber den Badambaum.
