Get Mike's latest book here: https://www.revolpress.com/hungry-ghosts-in-the-machine   Hungry Ghosts in the Machine will discuss the ways in which social and other digital media utilize nostalgia to heighten anxiety, depression and alienation then offer fleeting cures that ultimately lead to a cycle of longing and, at most, only temporary satiation. It will finally be stated that wellbeing and spiritual practice freed of the compulsive aspect of social media use might form a useful role in a wider movement aimed at fostering healthy communities.   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are fighting. Like actual fighting.  With one challenging the other to a cage fight, there's been an escalation that might see the billionaires enter the UFC octagon for real.  If you're wondering why, you're not alone.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the motivation for these two men to continue publicly baiting each other for a fight, and whether it might be nothing more than a good old fashioned PR stunt.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Denně strávíme online v průměru okolo šesti hodin. Podobu prostoru, do kterého přitom vstupujeme, vnímáme většinou jako samozřejmou – jenže samozřejmá není. Internet, který byl kdysi představován jako místo neomezených možností pro svobodnou zábavu i poznání, je dnes konstruován za účelem zisku. Jak přesně v současnosti funguje a jaká je jeho budoucnost? Lze ho ještě zachránit z rukou technologických gigantů? A co nás čeká v metaverzu? V této debatě uslyšíte politoložku zabývající se společenskými dopady technologií Kateřinu Smejkalovou, vizuálního umělce a teoretika počítačových her Leonharda Müllnera a politologa Daniela Leiseganga, který se věnuje digitálním právům a svobodám.

Digital Capitalism: From Disciplinary Regime to Surveillance Capitalism. How Digitalization is Changing the Nature of Labor Exploitation. Based on his book, Despertar del sueño tecnológico, Ekaitz Cancela proposes to analyse how the digitization of a financialized economy has been presented as a false solution to the organic crisis of the capitalist system. But there is still a glimmer of hope if we manage to socialize the economic and cultural resources of the 21st century, the data, and the infrastructures they have created. Based on her several articles on digital capitalism, Marga Ferré, Co-President of transform! europe, disputes the concept of the future. We know that every technological revolution produces changes in the mode of production and, therefore, in labor and the social structure, but what we are experiencing exceeds what we know due to its size and speed. In this sense, what impact does technology have on the working class, which today is intensely feminine and migrant? To what extent is primitive accumulation associated with a digitalization that not only to contributes to the further insecurity of precarious workers but also to a new wave of precarization of the middle classes? What opportunities emerge from these upheavals for the feminist, anti-racist and indigenous movements in their struggle against exploitation, oppression, and new forms of colonialism? The presentation is followed by a discussion between the presenters and activists from Gigwatch.

In this episode, Jenny Huberman speaks with Jathan Sadowski, a research fellow in the Emerging Technologies Research Lab at Monash University and author of Too Smart: How Digital Capitalism is Extracting Data, Controlling Our Lives, and Taking Over the World. They discuss how digital capitalism is both similar to and different from, previous forms of capital accumulation and domination and they discuss some of the ways smart technologies are used to facilitate these processes. While Sadowski offers a trenchant critique of the way smart technologies are used to enhance corporate technocratic power, he also provides listeners with some paths for resisting, if not reforming capitalism in the digital age.

In this edition, we reproduce the seventh podcast episode from the International Seminar "Automation and Digitalization in Contemporary Capitalism”, an initiative organized by GEPD, Digilabour and NETS. The guest is Sabine Pfeiffer who is a professor at the Friedrich Alexander University, of Erlangen and Nuremberg, where she holds a chair of Sociology, Technology and Labour. In her presentation, Mrs. Pfeiffer discusses topics over her book titled "Digital Capitalism and Distributive Forces", which has already been published in German and will have en English version in 2022. The work seeks to investigate the true novelties of the digital capitalism. In her analysis, she juxtaposes Marx's concept of productive forces with the idea of distributive forces. From platform economics to artificial intelligence, Pfeiffer shows that digital capitalism is less about the efficient production of value, but rather about its fast, risk-free and permanently guaranteed realization in the markets. *** Nesta edição, reproduzimos o sétimo episódio do Seminário Internacional “Automação e Digitalização no Capitalismo Contemporâneo”, uma iniciativa organizada pelo GEPD, Digilabour e NETS. A convidada é Sabine Pfeiffer, que é professora na Universidade Friedrich Alexander, de Erlangen e Nuremberg, na Alemanha, onde detém a cadeira de Sociologia, Tecnologia e Trabalho. Em sua apresentação, Pfeiffer discute tópicos de seu livro intitulado "Digital Capitalism and Distributive Forces", já publicado em alemão e cuja versão em inglês sairá em 2022. O trabalho procura investigar as verdadeiras novidades do capitalismo digital. Em sua análise, ela justapõe o conceito de forças produtivas de Marx com a ideia de forças distributivas. Da economia de plataforma à inteligência artificial, Pfeiffer mostra que o capitalismo digital é menos sobre a produção eficiente de valor, mas sim sobre sua realização rápida, livre de risco e permanentemente garantida nos mercados. O exame dessa dinâmica e de suas consequências também leva à questão de quão destrutivas as forças distributivas do capitalismo digital podem ser.

In August this year Jake Davison, a 22-year-old from Plymouth, went on a shooting rampage that left six dead, including his mother and himself. In the aftermath it emerged that Davison had been a member of ‘incel' forums online. He's not the first mass shooter to have links to online groups espousing extreme hatred of women. Since Elliot Rodger killed six people in California in 2014, self-proclaimed ‘involuntary celibates' have carried out multiple mass murders, mostly in North America. What's driving this extreme misogyny? Is incel ideology on the rise? And are Big Tech companies to blame for allowing these groups to thrive online?

On this episode, I explore data capitalism, acid communism, and the psychedelic ties between them, with Emma Stamm. Emma holds a PhD in cultural & social thought, and works at the intersections of the philosophy of technology, critical theory, and science and technology studies. She has taught at both NYU & Virginia Tech, and is now a professor in the philosophy department at Villanova University. Our conversation explores the relationship between data capitalism & consciousness, using psychedelic science as a way of illuminating those aspects of consciousness that cannot be rendered via data's language. Enjoy!

Today I'm talking with Jathan Sadowski from Monash University about the economic and political dimensions of digital capitalism. An emerging consensus sees digital data, its extraction and the concentration of Big Tech as signalling a dramatic shift towards a new age of “digital feudalism”: The story goes that digital services with minimal marginal costs enabled unprecedented market concentration in the hands of giant corporations, which  thrive on capturing rents in the form of data they mine from end users. For many liberal scholars, this marks a dysfunctional phase of capitalism where innovation and competition are stifled, whereas profit-driven "socially legitimate" accumulation is displaced by rentierism. Jathan argues on the contrary that contemporary forms of digital value capture sit in the continuity of capitalist accumulation strategies. We talk about the Internet of Things, smart devices and energy grids, platform-based services, new forms of territorial sovereignty exerted by private companies which own digital urban infrastructures... but also about socialist alternatives to the dystopian present, which would necessitate socializing data and managing it as a public good.

I det här avsnittet fortsätter Mirjam samtalet om livet i den digitala kapitalismen, nu med Krakelmedlemmarna Katja och Anna-Klara. Avsnittet handlar om hur man kan använda Marx för att förstå både vad som är kapitalistisk kontinuitet och vad som är nytt i den digitala kapitalismen. Är utvecklingen av digital teknik ett hot eller ett löfte för de arbetande människorna - eller kan man ens ställa frågan på det sättet? Varför får Instagram oss att glömma vem som gjort telefonen vi håller i handen - och till och med själva telefonen? Hur suddar det digitala livet ut både de tidsmässiga och rumsliga gränserna mellan arbete och fritid, produktion och konsumtion, liv och exploatering? Och vad är problemet med det?!Nämns:Christian Fuchs, ”Rereading Marx in the Age of Digital Capitalism” (2019)Silvia Federici, "Wages Against Housework" (1975)Allt åt alla Göteborg, "Att arbeta i pandemin" (2021)David Harvey, "Spaces of Global Capitalism" (2006)Krakelpodden är en antikapitalistisk podd om kroppen, språket, kulturen och politiken.

'I miss the cameras. They used to be heavier than us. Then they became smaller than our heads. Now you can't see them at all.' We discuss one of our favourites of 2020: Brandon Cronenberg's sci-fi horror film Possessor, in comparison with Leos Carax's rightly-lauded Holy Motors . As they unfold, both films reveal themselves to be concerned with the blurring of selfhood and performance. We ask how these films relate to our corporatized world of global mass surveillance and how much agency we have within this scheme, when our bodies seem to be fated by unseen corporate entities. And ultimately, we must ask: who is this performance for?

Regulating Facebook, Twitter & Co. is not about cutting freedom. It's about saving it. For the benefit of all, including the companies themselves.

Understanding Digital Capitalism – wie Google & Co. den Kapitalismus verändern Eine Veranstaltung der Jungen Panke zur Politischen Ökonomie des Digitalen Kapitalismus (Januar 2015) Referent: Timo Daum Amazon, Facebook, Google & Co. sind die "ruling class of the digital world" (Nenad Romic). Sie verändern durch ihre Strategien, Geschäftsmodelle und Unternehmenskulturen unser Leben und die Funktionsweise des Kapitalismus selbst. War das Auto Schlüsseltechnologie, infrastrukturelles Paradigma und ideologischer Bezugspunkt für den Kapitalismus des 20. Jahrhunderts, so wird diese Rolle heute durch das Internet übernommen: Das Netz ist die Meta-Struktur, auf denen diese Unternehmen ihre Imperien aufbauen. Womit verdienen sie ihr Geld? Welche Infrastrukturen benötigen sie? Welche Auswirkungen hat das auf Politik und Gesellschaft? Was ist der Kern der "Californian Ideology" und wie gelingt es dem Silicon Valley, der Welt seine Produkte und Services aufzuzwingen? Was bedeuten user generated content, social media und shareconomy für den Kapitalismus – wird noch irgendwo Wert produziert? Sind die Facebook-User das neue Proletariat? Eine Kritik der politischen Ökonomie heutzutage muss verstehen, wie Google und Co. funktionieren…

From Season 1 titled, "What is Post-Christian Culture?" In our third episode of This Cultural Moment, we discuss the idea of relevance vs resilience. How should the people of Jesus remain faithful to the way of Jesus in a changing world?

In this interview, recorded at the SocRel 2017 conference in Leeds, Professor Adam Possamai discusses the rising popularity of ‘Hyper-Real religion’ – a category encompassing Jediism, Matrixism, and other movements taking influence from popular culture. Situating hyper-real religions within the contemporary context of digital capitalism,

For this final episode in the series I spoke to Aristea Fotopolou about her work on gender, data and self-tracking. She told me about her work on fertility and pregnancy apps and how they construct and embody discourses of gender, capitalism and neoliberalism. We question the extent to which we are encouraged to be "good citizens". In my view Aristea has some very interesting and useful ways of conceptualising the ways in which we engage with health and exercise tracking such as "biopedagogy" and focusing on the "micropractices" of using technology. Aristea tells me about her experience of conducting an autoethnography of her use of self-tracking and how her identity as a researcher and a research participant blurred. In the discussion Aristea connects the discussion of self-tracking to her other work on feminist activism and digital networks through suggesting that tracking is a form of gendered labour.

Sathnam Sanghera, Judy Wajcman, Griselda Togobo and Robert Colvile join Radio 3 presenter Matthew Sweet to look at the history of the workplace from factory floor to hot desk to the gig economy and debate whether the merging of workplace and home creates more stress.Bosses have always monitored and changed our working day, clocking staff in and out the factory, analyzing productivity through time and motion studies, using remote monitoring, introducing flexible working and “logging on later.”Sathnam Sanghera is a journalist and award-winning author of Marriage Material: A Novel and The Boy with the Topknot: A Memoir of Love, Secrets and Lies in Wolverhampton.

For this episode in the series I spoke to Btihaj Ajana who is a Senior Lecturer in Culture, Digital Humanities and Creative Industries at King’s College London and Associate Professor at Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies. We talk about her work on biometrics and self-tracking. She suggests that when our bodies are transformed into data they are able to be distributed over networks and our bodily boundaries become more open and fuzzy. She sees this as a shift from body as flesh to body as data and this new ontology requires a new engagement with ethics politics and regulation.

In the sixth episode in the series I spoke to Liz McFall from the Open University. Liz discusses some of her work on the history of insurance and how this relates to the contemporary impact which digital data is having on insurance. New sources of data are changing how data is calculated although sometimes the changes are not as big as we might expect. We discuss whether self-tracking technologies will create personalised insurance pricing based on exercise activities and speculate on the forthcoming changes to the Affordable Care Act in USA.

For this podcast I spoke to Lynne Pettinger about the work she has done with Ewen Speed and Andrew Goffey on the use of data in the NHS and its impact on how services are managed and understood and the role it plays in privatisation. A key issue she addresses is the impact of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and how it signalled a shift in the role of the NHS. In particular there was a move from the role of the state being to "provider of care" to being a"promoter of care".

In episode 4 of the podcast I am talking to Will Davies, the author of The Happiness Industry and The Limits of Neoliberalism. Will tells me about his research into the history of economics and psychology and its influence on public policy. Why do governments and businesses want to make us happy? What's in it for them?

In episode 3 of the podcast I am speaking to Tamar Sharon about her work on self-tracking and the move of digital companies (such as Google, Facebook and Apple) into health research. Amongst other things we discuss the Apple HealthKit and Google's Baseline study and their implications for the political economy of health and how they are potentially skewing the direction of health research. We also think consider whether self-tracking should be seen as a manifestation of neoliberalism or as something with the potential for the development of different kinds of identities.

In the second episode of my Digital Health/Digital Capitalism podcast I spoke to Minna Ruckenstein about her work on various aspects of digital health and in particular how this is influenced by consumption. We discussed issues around "surveillance capitalism", "prosumption" in digital health technologies, direct to consumer genetic testing and the potential for self tracking devices to be used to establish social solidarity.

This is the first podcast in the series and I am speaking to Nick Fox about his work on personal medical devices and his analysis of digital health and digital capitalism more generally. I think this discussion works pretty well as a broad introduction to the themes of the series as Nick really clearly lays out some useful ways of approaching these things. He also offers some suggestions of how things might develop in the future and some propositions for how we can challenge some of the more damaging aspects of the digital health and capitalism. Can we reshape digital technologies to have more positive and collective affects? Can networked health devices enable solidarity and collective action?

The political economy has morphed throughout recent decades into a digitally-structured capitalism. The lecture locates some primary features of this historical process in patterns of corporate capital investment in ICTs. It goes on to sketch the development of the politics of digitization, between the 1970s and today. A foremost conclusion is that, in contrast to the unabashed triumphalism that greeted the rise of the Internet as a pole of growth during the 1990s, today we are living amid both persistent economic stagnation and escalating political contention over the structure and control of the world’s information infrastructure. Dan Schiller, Professor Emeritus of Library & Information Science and of Communication at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is an historian of information and communications in the context of the five-hundred year development of the capitalist political economy. He has held Chairs at UCSD , UCLA and Temple Universities and is the author of several books including Digital Capitalism: networking the global market system (MIT Press, 1999) and, most recently, Digital Depression: Information Technology and Economic Crisis (University of Illinois Press, 2014). He writes about the Internet and other communications systems for Le Monde Diplomatique. Presently, he is conducting archival research for a longstanding project on the history of US telecommunications and is visiting the Technology and Democracy project in CRASSH .

Judy Wajcman explains why we immediately interpret our experiences with digital technology as inexorably accelerating everyday life. The technologically tethered, iPhone-addicted figure is an image we can easily conjure. Most of us complain that there aren't enough hours in the day and there are too many e-mails in our thumb-accessible inboxes. This widespread perception that life is faster than it used to be is now ingrained in our culture, and smartphones and the Internet are continually being blamed. But isn't the sole purpose of the smartphone to give us such quick access to people and information that we'll be free to do other things? Isn't technology supposed to make our lives easier? In Pressed for Time, Judy Wajcman explains why we immediately interpret our experiences with digital technology as inexorably accelerating everyday life. She argues that we are not mere hostages to communication devices, and the sense of always being rushed is the result of the priorities and parameters we ourselves set rather than the machines that help us set them. Indeed, being busy and having action-packed lives has become valorized by our productivity-driven culture. Wajcman offers a bracing historical perspective, exploring the commodification of clock time, and how the speed of the industrial age became identified with progress. She also delves into the ways time use differs for diverse groups in modern societies, showing how changes in work patterns, family arrangements, and parenting all affect time stress. Bringing together empirical research on time use and theoretical debates about dramatic digital developments, this accessible and engaging book will leave readers better versed in how to use technology to navigate life's fast lane.
