This seminar will explore new economic and political regimes, practices and subjectivities that emerge in the context of platform capitalism. We will discuss topics and concepts such as the sharing economy, platform, digital activism, digital surveillance, virtual currencies, gamification, quantification, allegorithm, soft biopolitics, fan labor, and creationist capitalism.  Our analysis will be based on a combination of critical media theory and ethnographic research.
