I am delighted to announce the publication of my new book: Feminism, Labour and Digital Media: The Digital Housewife, available from Routledge. This book argues for using Marxist feminist theories about the role of domestic work in capitalism to explore the nature of digital media’s consumer labour. In particular, it focuses on the debate about whether users are exploited in and alienated by their online activity or if they do indeed experience unalienated, socially meaningful exchanges, challenging this unhelpful binary. It uses the concept of the Digital Housewife to outline the relationship between the work we do online and the unpaid sphere of social reproduction. It demonstrates how feminist perspectives expand our critique of consumer labour in digital media. In doing so, the Digital Housewife returns feminist inquiry from the margins of political economy and places it at the heart of critical digital media analysis.
