[Air-L] Reading List on Cultures of Production in Internet/Social Media/App Firms

[Andrew Herman]

Hi All


I am putting together a reading list on "Cultures of Production in
Internet/Social Media/App Firms" or something like that. I am
particularly interested in empirical, qualitative work that is
theoretically informed (i.e. by work on digital/immaterial/affective
labour though not limited to that perspective) but does a deep dive in
the quotidian cultures of work and work life in the industry.


I am already rockin' the work of Gina Neff, Alice Marwick, Melissa
Gregg, Richard Sennett, David Stark and Ursula Huws. I am also broadly
familiar with the cultural industries literature and am looking for work
specifically on internet/mobile and social media/software app
enterprises. Work on the gaming industry would also be valuable.


Thanks
