digital capitalismComo—Italy
4—7September 2024
The spectre of digital capitalism is haunting the world.
The so-called “AI boom” of the past few years has now taken centre stage in the public debate, scientific research, and in the political agendas of international institutions.
As the Global North seems to have embarked on a relentless journey towards the digital restructuring of our societies, the digital transition has given rise to new problems regarding the societal and political implications of new technologies.
Is a new form of digital capitalism emerging from the interplay of digital technology and pre-existing social relations? What is the direct impact of digital technology on human labour? How does this affect our life as a whole? And how is it revolutionising the public sphere?
More urgently, what is the role of emancipatory politics in this scenario?
These are some of the questions that tech enthusiasts and technophobes alike are ill-prepared to address.
The third edition of the Lake Como Summer School in Critical Theory of Society will gather scholars of renowned reputation to discuss these issues from different perspectives.
