[Commlist] Call for Chapters: The Handbook of Digital Labor

We'd like to call for chapter submissions to The Handbook of Digital 
Labor, which we are editing for the IAMCR Global Handbooks in Media & 
Communication Research series, to be published by Wiley.

Despite the generic title, we designed this handbook to chart rapidly 
changing global labor conditions, challenge boundaries between “online” 
vs “off-line” labor, and be a resource book that addresses key debates 
surrounding perennial and urgent concerns about labor questions in 
contemporary capitalism from a global perspective. While this handbook 
will build on existing work, it stresses the reconceptualization of 
digital labor in various contexts, connecting them across the sectors 
and generations, and is intended to contribute to structural analysis 
and intellectual praxis toward emancipatory movements.

This handbook is organized around four themes that are defined 
historically, technologically, and internationally in the realms of work 
and control, solidarity politics, pedagogy, and imaginaries:
1. Labor Under Capitalism
2. Digital Technologies, Work and Control
3. Solidarity Politics and the Working-Class Majority
4. Pedagogy, Imaginary and Emancipation

In this project, we investigate foundational labor questions as well as 
emerging and/or persistent patterns of labor and labor organization 
under new conditions such as digital platforms, automation, artificial 
intelligence (AI), the ”gig” economy, new divisions of labor, and 
alternative developments.

If you are interested, please email a 200-word abstract to us by April 
15, 2023. You may choose to submit your chapter to any of the four 
themes above, or we can make a decision after reading your abstract. You 
will be informed about the review and selection result by May 15, 2023. 
If selected, you will need to submit the full chapter, consisting of 
6,000 - 8,000 words by August 15, 2023.

Do not hesitate to contact us at (jack.qiu /at/ ntu.edu.sg) 
<mailto:(jack.qiu /at/ ntu.edu.sg)>We look forward to learning about your work 
on digital labor issues.
