商品簡介
"Cognitive capitalism" is a new form of capitalism replacing the earlier phases of mercantile and industrial capitalism in which "the accumulation process is centered on immaterial assets utilizing immaterial or digital labor processes and production of symbolic goods and experiences," in the words of editors Peters (education, U. of Waikato, New Zealand) and Bulut (a doctoral candidate at the Institute of Communications Research, U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US), who present fourteen chapters that theorize cognitive capitalism, particularly in terms of its implications for educational pedagogy and struggles around visuality, networks, and universities.
