i'm glad my critique of capitalism doesn't really come until the final chapter of my dissertation
Is the production of user-generated content a form of labor? Or, should it be re-thought as an affective investment? Or something else?
Do the theory and concepts that are part of a labor theory of value limit our understanding of user-generated content? Should we choose a different point of departure for our theoretical endeavors?
Is the Marxist notion of commodity an appropriate analytic for understanding appropriation of value in the case of user-generated content? Or, should it be de-centered from such an analysis?
Is the notion of “labor time” relevant to the production of user-generated content?
How can Marxist and historical-critical perspectives engage with the new organization of information economies and information societies?
Is it appropriate to extend Dallas Smythe’s notion of “audience work,” which he developed in 1970s when broadcasting was the dominant mode, to the Internet world? What are the problematics of extending “old” theories to “new” technologies?
these questions are all from the CFP for monetization of user-generated content—marx revisited
pussy-strut: these are good questions and i like that they are good
