Digital Labour, Society and the Politics of Sensibilities

This volume provides a multidisciplinary perspective on a set of transformations in social practices that modify the meaning of everyday interactions, and especially those that affect the world of labour. The book is composed of two types of texts: some dedicated to exploring the modifications of labour in the context of the 'digital age', and others that point out the consequences of this era and those transformations in the current social structuration processes. The authors examine interwoven possibilities and limitations that act in renewed ways to release/repress the creative energy of human beings, just a few of the potential paths for investigating the connections between work and society that are nowadays involved in the battle of sensibilities.

Provides an understanding of some of the deepest transformations of current society through the articulation of digital labour, society 4.0 and the politics of sensibilities Addresses certain deficits in the available literature: body/emotions and digital labour relationship and re-configuration of the senses and productive energies, among others Reflects on the limitations and strengths of thinking of our societies as 'cognitive capitalism', 'capitalisms of audiences', 'prosumption capitalism', 'digital era', etc.
