Call for Papers
At the beginning of 21th century, the interaction of communication, technology and labor, on the one hand, leads to new forms of economic, political and ideological structures of capitalism. On the other hand, this interaction means new possibilities in the organisation, solidarity and resistance practices of labor. LaborComm 2012 focuses on the new forms of capitalism and the possibilities of organisation, solidarity and resistance of labor within the context of communication. Moreover, LaborComm 2012 aims to discuss new forms of work and class formation within the context of ICTs. This conference targets to follow up the footprints of the interaction of communication, technology and labor in politics, economics, daily life and culture and to develop “pro-labor” conceptual and theoretical frameworks to explain these footprints.
Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
· Conceptual and theoretical frameworks “claiming” the explanations of the new forms of capitalism
· ICTs and the new forms of economic, political and ideological structures of capitalism
· ICTs and organisation, solidarity and resistance
· Threats against organisation, solidarity and resistance
· New forms of work in media/telecommunication/information industries
· New forms of labor and class formations in media/telecommunication/information industries
