Abstract

Digital technologies have helped consolidate the wealth and influence of a small number of people. By taking advantage of flexible labor and by shifting accountability to individuals, sharing economy platforms have furthered insecure conditions for racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities, women, indigenous people, migrants, and peoples in the Global South. At the same time, precarity has become increasingly generalized, expanding to the creative class and digital producers themselves. If networked lives are always imagined as productive, virtuous, connective, and efficient, it is clear that these networks are broken. Written by Precarity Lab, a group of intergenerational, transnational feminist and people and women of color scholars, this manifesto envisions a new approach to digital studies. It argues for a new analytic for tracing how precarity unfolds across disparate geographic sites and cultural practices in the digital age.
数字不稳定宣言
数字技术帮助巩固了少数人的财富和影响力。通过利用灵活的劳动力并将责任转移给个人,共享经济平台进一步加剧了种族、民族和性少数群体、妇女、土著人民、移民和全球南方人民的不安全状况。与此同时,不稳定性变得越来越普遍,并扩展到创意阶层和数字制作人本身。如果网络化的生活总是被想象成富有成效的、有道德的、有联系的和高效的,那么很明显,这些网络已经被打破了。这份宣言由不稳定实验室(Precarity Lab)撰写,该实验室是一群跨代、跨国的女权主义者和有色人种学者,他们设想了一种新的数字研究方法。它提出了一种新的分析方法,用于追踪数字时代不同地理位置和文化实践中不稳定性是如何展开的。
