Winchester Centre for Global Futures in Art Design & Media presents:
Global Futures Seminar
Friday 25 May 2012 @ 4pm in seminar rooms 8-9 Graphics Building
Jodi Dean, Professor of Political Science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges
Exploitation in Communicative Capitalism
Some have suggested that networked digital media herald an age free from exploitation, that they so fundamentally change work, value, and scarcity as to make the notion of exploitation outmoded. In this lecture, Jodi Dean takes a different view, presenting six versions of exploitation specific to communicative capitalism.
Prof. Jodi Dean has authored or edited ten books, including Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies (Duke 2009) and Blog Theory (Polity 2010). In October, Verso will publish her eleventh book, The Communist Horizon.
This is a wonderful opportunity to meet a high profile professor who deals with popular issues such as the Occupy movement, Internet as a playground, blog theory, and other exciting subjects. Do come along! This event is free and open to the public...
