Description

Explore the intersection of critical theory and digital culture in this comprehensive examination of social media's role in contemporary capitalism and social movements. This volume investigates how platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube function within global economic systems, examining claims about their influence on uprisings and their relationship to commodification and instrumentalization. Drawing on critical political economy traditions including Marxist analysis, the book addresses the paradox between inflated narratives of social media's revolutionary potential and their actual mechanisms within capitalist structures. It considers how digital platforms affect the commons, social rebellions, and resistance movements whilst navigating the complexity of contemporary crisis and critique. Ideal for scholars of sociology, media studies, political economy, and science and technology studies, this work provides essential insights into how critique operates through social media and what role these technologies genuinely play in shaping society and challenging dominant systems.
