on Digital Labor (ICDL)*
Call for Papers
We invite submissions to the conference “What Is Labor in the Digital
Age”: International Conference on Digital Labor (ICDL). The conference,
organized by the School of Communication of East China Normal University
(ECNU) in conjunction with the Chinese Association for History of
Journalism and Mass Communication (CAHJMC), will take place on October
25, 26, and 27 at ECNU in Shanghai, China.
Scholars have noted that oftentimes digital labor goes unrecognized and
unrewarded, but what is digital labor anyway? The coming of the digital
age has dramatically changed capitalist modes of production and the way
how labor works. Does digital labor indicate that the demarcated and
fixed lines between work and paly, and between production and
consumption are blurred, collapsed, and overlapped? In the news
industry, what is the impact of digital technologies on the labor force?
What can be learned about digital labor from China's experience? While
the conference is hosted by the communication school, we would like to
invite scholars from varied disciplines including but not limited to
communication, economy, sociology, politics, history, anthropology,
philosophy and practitioners from media and IT industries. Submissions
should contribute to ongoing conversations about digital labor in
empirical, theoretical or methodological ways. Aspects of digital labor
to be addressed may be related to the following, among others: ●
Definition ● Social media ● News industry ● history ●Platform-based
activities ● Digital and platform economies ● Imperialism,
neocolonialism and postcolonialism ● Regulation and public policies ●
Political economy of communication● Postmodernism ●Fans ● Gender, race,
ethnicity, and identity. We look forward to seeing you in Shanghai in
October.
