IT for Change at the International Conference on “Labouring Women: Some Major Concerns at the Current Juncture”

Anita Gurumurthy represented IT for Change at the International Conference on “Labouring Women: Some Major Concerns at the Current Juncture” organised by the Centre for Informal Sector and Labour Studies, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi from 31st July to 1st August, 2014. The presentation highlights certain crucial overarching issues emerging in the age of network capitalism - and the ways in which the idea of digital commons as a new paradigm for the production and dissemination of cultural knowledge can challenge the otherwise inevitable commodification of life and valorisation of the masculine dream of the unencumbered individual.
