Short-form videos, often described as “oddly satisfying,” have evoked unexpected pleasure in viewers for years, featuring multisensory stimuli, such as perfectly fitting objects, mesmerising paint mixing, and contrasting textures. This article examines ‘oddly satisfying’ content on Reddit and Instagram, exploring how these videos introduce new modes of “embodied spectatorship” and sensory-driven consumption. Drawing on theories of embodied specta…
The entanglement of emotional labour and digital work platforms
Today, work is increasingly performed on or through various digital platforms. This article aims to study workers at the forefront of digital labour. Drawing on 29 qualitative interviews with professional gamers, influencers, and platform workers, this study explores how digital platform affordances across diverse types of platform-mediated work shape the performance of emotional labour.

Regarding the Mains of Others
The platformed logics of social media favor unique and spectacular content and thus encourage the production and display of unique and spectacular bodies.

De andre tegn på kroppen
Dette essay udspringer af vores erfaringer med at blive forvekslet med hinanden i konteksten af dansk akademia. At blive forvekslet er selvfølgelig ikke en erfaring, der er forbeholdtøstasiatiske kroppe som vores. Vores afsæt er den racialiserende forveksling, som produceres gennem et hvidt akademisk blik, der både udvisker forskellighed og bestemmer hvilke former for forskellighed, der skal tillægges vægt og betydning. Vi anvender dermed forveks…
