Cognitive Capitalism, Education and Digital Labor de Michael A. Peters

Cognitive Capitalism, Education and Digital Labor

Editat de Michael A. Peters, Ergin Bulut
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 oct 2011
Cognitive capitalism ¿ sometimes referred to as ¿third capitalism,¿ after mercantilism and industrial capitalism ¿ is an increasingly significant theory, given its focus on the socio-economic changes caused by Internet and Web 2.0 technologies that have transformed the mode of production and the nature of labor. The theory of cognitive capitalism has its origins in French and Italian thinkers, particularly Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari¿sCapitalism and Schizophrenia, Michel Foucault¿s work on the birth of biopower and Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri¿s Empire and Multitude, as well as the Italian Autonomist Marxist movement that had its origins in the Italian operaismo (workerism) of the 1960s. In this collection, leading international scholars explore the significance of cognitive capitalism for education, especially focusing on the question of digital labor.

Recenzii

'Cognitive Capitalism, Education and Digital Labor' provides us with a series of very thoughtful and provocative analyses of the relationship among political economy, education and new forms of knowledge and labor. It is definitely worth reading and then discussing its implications at length. (Michael W. Apple, John Bascom Professor of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison) This volume is a 'tour de force'. Through its chapters, a new space is opened for understanding education in the contemporary world. With an magisterial introduction by its indefatigable editor, Michael A. Peters, and his colleague Ergin Bulut, 'Cognitive Capitalism, Education and Digital Labor' implicitly shows the limitations of postmodernism and offers a large conceptual framework that will surely be mined and critically examined for some years to come. (Ronald Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, Institute of Education, London) 'Cognitive Capitalism, Education and Digital Labor' is extraordinarily instructive in studying the living bestiary of capitalism, a provocative text that enervates capitalism through helping us cultivate our critical faculties creatively and exultantly in the service of its demise. An important advance in our understanding the production of subjectivity in capitalist societies. (Peter McLaren, School of Critical Studies in Education, Faculty of Education, University of Auckland) This valuable, lithe volume explores the ever-evolving, mutating forms of capitalism. It is a work of craft, intelligence and provocation. It reflects on some of the most important subterranean trends in contemporary societies. These unite the material and the immaterial, biology and power, economics and education. The contributors parse the intersections of intellectual and physical labour, paid and unpaid work, labour and pedagogy, research and gaming, free information and multi-national corporations, autonomy and liberalism, accumulation and enclosure, class and creativity. They do so with verve, steel and tenacious insight. (Peter Murphy, Professor of Creative Arts and Social Aesthetics, James Cook University) If you read just a single book in the field of educational theory this year, make sure it's this one. Drawing on the rich tradition of Marxist autonomism, the contributors pinpoint what the transmutation of labor and opening of new domains of class struggle under cognitive capitalism mean for education. The editors have assembled an impressive team, all accomplished scholars adept at envisioning changes in the sites and forms of knowledge-making, acquisition and contestation. For anyone interested in the educational implications of technologically-driven shifts in capitalism's socio-economic structures, this is the volume to buy. Brimming with insight, balanced and lively - it will attract attention from scholars and students well beyond the confines of education faculties. (James Reveley, Associate Professor, Faculty of Commerce, University of Wollongong) We have now for some time been undergoing intense technological and social revolutions that transformed the nature of labor, education and the capitalist economy. Peters and Bulut and their collaborators in 'Cognitive Capitalism, Education and Digital Labor' chart out the changes in the new economy and social life and explore its consequences for education. All educators and those concerned with transformations of contemporary culture and society should be concerned with these issues and learn from this book. (Douglas Kellner, UCLA; Author of 'Guys and Guns Amok' and 'Media Spectacle and the Crisis of Democracy') The mainstream discourse of the knowledge economy is empty. The digital-Taylorist routinisation of much of the work that was once the preserve of knowledge workers and the offshoring of knowledge jobs to countries where skilled labour is much cheaper have given the game away. But it would be wrong to assume that the ele
