Ursula Huws: "Digitalisation, commodification and social reproduction" (10.3.2021)

The history of capitalism can be viewed as one in which more and
more aspects of life are drawn within the scope of the
adversarial relationship whereby the value created by living
labour is appropriated by capital. This is an ongoing process in
which technological change plays an important role. This
presentation will look at some of the ways in which the current
wave of digitalisation is leading to a marketisation and
commodification of social reproduction.
