Abstract der Keynote:
Feminist scholars and activists, especially those shaped by the Marxist feminist tradition, have long argued that more attention be paid to the reproduction of workers, especially within domestic contexts. Drawing on this position and the approach of social reproduction theory, this paper will argue for the importance of investigating work beyond the point of production in order to more fully appreciate the conditions of possibility for work. Using various kinds of platform work as a focus, it will explore the utility of this approach for understanding the economics of the digital media industries. It will then argue for the importance of understanding the embedding of gig work within reproductive social contexts and will finally consider how they hybridity of reproductive labour allows it to feed into acts of resistance and resilience within the platform economy.
