Underperformative economies: Discrimination and gendered ideas of workplace culture in San Francisco's digital media sector
Drawing on recent research in feminist and cultural economic geography, as well as queer and affect theory, in this paper I examine the construction of ideas of workplace culture in the context of digital media work in San Francisco. I argue that in this context, workplace culture is produced as an idea that functions to describe certain individuals and behaviors as in or out of alignment with the firm's established and gendered norms. I frame th…
A queer theory of software studies: Software theories, queer studies
This introduction to the themed section ‘Queering Code/Space’ poses the question: what is the spatial relationship between technology and sexuality? We outline two overarching issues concerning technology and sexuality that lie outside of yet intersect with discussions in geographical scholarship. We then detail the characteristics of two largely distinct schools of thought – software studies and queer theory – to examine the tensions of and corr…
Queering code/space: The Co-Production of Socio-Sexual Codes and Digital Technologies
The mutual production of space by sexuality and technology has been differently addressed in the often-disparate disciplinary pursuits of queer geographies and critical studies of technology in geography. Building on Dodge and Kitchin’s ‘code/space,’ we highlight how studies of technology in geography are already concerned with questions of sexuality through the examination of biopolitics and the regulation of bodies, together with the (re-)estab…
Sharing and neoliberal discourse: The economic function of sharing in the digital on-demand economy
Between ontology and representation: Locating Gilles Deleuze’s ‘difference-in-itself ’ in and for geographical thought
The concept of difference has long been integral to geographical thought. However, it is rare for geographers to consider precisely what difference is, or how it functions, and there are several contrasting traditions through which difference is understood. We argue that geographers could helpfully extend their theorizations of difference through Deleuze’s philosophy of ‘difference-in-itself’. We examine the value of a ‘difference-in-itself’ that…
Affect and value in critical examinations of the production and 'prosumption' of Big Data
In this paper I explore the relationship between the production and the value of Big Data. In particular I examine the concept of social media 'prosumption'-which has predominantly been theorized from a Marxist, political economic perspective-to consider what other forms of value Big Data have, imbricated with their often speculative economic value. I take the example of social media firms in their early stages of operation to suggest that, since…
Entrepreneurial affect: Attachment to work practice in San Francisco's digital media sector
In this paper I examine entrepreneurial work in San Francisco's digital media sector to consider how affect and desire are invested in sites of neoliberal production. Drawing on recent writing on affect, I treat affect as ambivalent and coextensive with the mode of production, suggesting an approach that looks beyond the investment of value in commodities, to how desire is produced and directly located in economic infrastructures. Entrepreneurial…
