Topologies Of Digital Work: How Digitalisation And Virtualisation Shape Working Spaces And Places (Dynamics Of Virtual Work)

The anthology presents well-founded research and theoretical discussions and gives essential insights into the relationships between digitization, work and space in the 21st century. -Andreas Boes, Adjunct Professor, Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany "This edited book delivers much needed research and theory on how to critically investigate the hidden abodes of production in a future that is already present.Compulsory reading." - Kendra Briken, Senior Lecturer, Strathclyde Business School, UK "This is an exciting collection that illustrates how technologies are being used to reinvent the spaces where we work, and how that changes how we relate to each other and to ourselves." -Vili Lehdonvirta, Professor of Economic Sociology and Digital Social Research, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, UK "The well-balanced and diverse contributions in this anthology offer exciting insights into digitally-mediated work practices and the resultant challenges for individuals. The volume stimulates new and important questions about the organisation of work and learning processes." -Anoush Margaryan, Professor in the Department of Digitalization, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark This book provides a unique contribution to the controversial discussion that surrounds the digitalisation and virtualisation of work. With a focus on the new formation of space and place, it critically discusses the idea that places in the context of work are increasingly losing their importance, and becoming more arbitrary with new technical possibilities.
