Le travail numérique au prisme du féminisme marxiste
À mesure que les contentieux économiques se mondialisent, les États-Unis s’affirment comme un véritable hub juridictionnel des litiges transnationaux. L’action individuelle de la loi R.I.C.O., dont l’objet est la réparation du préjudice causé par les infractions qu’elle vise, y contribue fortement ces dernières années : dommages triplés, frais récupérables, large spectre d’infractions. Cette attractivité nourrit un contentieux stratégique croissa…
Stacks and Intersections: Feminist Thinking in Digital Humanities, a view from these islands
Intersectional feminist work around digital archiving can productively develop stack models to address questions concerning the location, site, and materiality of possible and effective feminist intervention. Developing this proposition, we draw on two DH research projects undertaken between the UK and Ireland (2020 and on-going) focussing on work around community archives at a moment of their radical transformation. Asking what feminist DH can b…
Showing off your best assets: Rethinking commodification in the online creator economy
This theoretical paper critically explores digital labour in the online creator econo-my using OnlyFans sex workers as its core example. It critiques the description of the exploitation of self and embodiment in this work as a process of commodifica-tion. By reframing this activity in terms of human capital appreciation and by contrasting the specific economic logic of commodities and assets, it proposes in-stead the framework of assetisation to …

The Dick Pic: Harassment, Curation, and Desire
The combined rise of digital photography and social media has expanded what might be considered photo worthy. Among the pouting selfies and food stuffs of the day exists the ubiquitous dick pic. The mainstream media generally focuses on dick pics of the unsolicited kind, which, negatively positioned, are commonly associated with heterosexual harassment. Considering the ubiquity of dick pics across apps and platforms, research on the topic neverth…
Laundering women's history: A feminist critique of the social factory
Studies of digital labour are closely connected to the concept of immaterial labour and how this has been critically interpreted by Autonomist Marxists who draw upon the concept of the social factory in explaining its wider impacts. The extension of labour and capitalist logics outside factory walls that constitutes the social factory is typically described as a novel feature of contemporary capitalism and particularly the digital economy. This p…
Queering alienation in digital media
Marx’s concept of alienation, particularly as articulated in Dallas Smythe’s audience-commodity thesis, is central to critical studies of the political economy of digital media and its exploitation of user labour. However, in its application within critical studies of Internet economies, the concept often becomes limited to alienation from ‘species-being’ or autonomous self-actualisation. Drawing on mostly queer, but also some feminist, critiques…
Economies of the Internet
The papers in this issue of First Monday were originally presented as a series of panels at the Association of Internet Researchers 2015 conference in Phoenix, Arizona. This short introduction explains the impetus behind the organization of these panels — which was to document diversity in approaches to the study of Internet economies — and briefly introduces each paper by locating them in the nexus between political economy and cultural studies
Feminism, Labour and Digital Media: The Digital Housewife
Feminism, Labour and Digital Media: The Digital Housewife
There is a contradiction at the heart of digital media. We use commercial platforms to express our identity, to build community and to engage politically. At the same time, our status updates, tweets, videos, photographs and music files are free content for these sites. We are also generating an almost endless supply of user data that can be mined, re-purposed and sold to advertisers. As users of the commercial web, we are socially and creatively…
The Alternative to Post-Hegemony: Reproduction and Austerity's Social Factory
In the transitions to advanced liberal States and post-Fordist economic paradigms, it is argued that the distinction between work and sociality has become blurred. This marks the emergence of the 'social factory' where sociality is industrialised and industrialisation has become increasingly centred on immaterial, social activity. It is further argued that this regime has generated a new articulation of socio-economic relations based on biopower …
"The Relevance of "Women's Work: Social Reproduction and Immaterial Labor in Digital Media
In the ongoing debates about the role of immaterial labor in digital media economics, the work of feminist researchers into affective labor performed in the home-"women's work"-has barely featured. This article is an attempt to address this gap in the dominant framework for discussing consumer labor in digital contexts. It draws on feminist frameworks, particularly the work of Fortunati, in arguing that affective, immaterial labor has a variable …

Beyond Broadcast YourselfTM: The Future of Youtube
Since its launch in early 2005, video-sharing website YouTube has emerged as a culturally, politically and economically significant medium, and as one of the inheritors of the social role played by broadcast television. However, its continued growth and journey to profitability are not guaranteed. This paper queries the future of YouTube by exploring the tension inherent in the site's three key characteristics embodied within its slogan 'Broadcas…
Labour of Love: An Archaeology of Affect as Power in E-Commerce
In the discourses of the electronic commerce (e-commerce) industry, consumers are alleged to be empowered by the affective relations they establish in online communities. This article investigates this claim using a Foucauldian archaeological framework. It seeks to identify the key social and historical conditions that have enabled this representation to appear and to become a viable characterization. The question it examines is not whether consu…
Interactivity is Evil! A critical investigation of Web 2.0
Central to Web 2.0 is the requirement for interactive systems to enable the participation of users in production and social interaction. Consequently, in order to critically explore the Web 2.0 phenomenon it is important to explore the relationship of interactivity to social power. This study firstly characterises interactivity in these media using Barry's (2001) framework differentiating interactivity from disciplining technologies as defined by…
