“Caught in the Web? Networks, Innovation, and Control over New Media Labor”
Tuesday, November18: Noon--1pm. Cypress Room
(Student Center Commons 2nd Floor; between the stairs and the Crescent room)

In this talk I weigh such claims with evidence from interviews with website production workers in New York City’s new media industry. Focusing on the potential for production networks to serve as mechanisms of labor control, I suggest that the constraints and opportunities for autonomy encountered by workers in interconnected, innovative fields are qualitatively different—and not simply greater or lesser—than those in other settings.
