- Inhalt
- The book “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism”, published by the American social scientist Shoshana Zuboff in 2018, proposes an analysis that interprets the rise of big digital platforms and companies such as Facebook (Meta) and Google (Alphabet) as the global spread of a new economic logic. According to Zuboff, this logic no longer derives from an antagonism between capital and labor, but uses capital to generate profits from collecting and analyzing human behavioral data at an unprecedented scale. Nick Couldry and Ulises A. Mejias present a related argument in their book “The Costs of Connection” from 2019, stressing data colonialism as the key feature of digital capitalism. Both books agree that the consequences of this newest version of capitalism are not limited to the economic realm but concern human coexistence in general and the future of democracy in particular. The course will focus on a close reading and discussion of selected parts of both books. Additional literature will foster a critical reflection of their ideas.
