Abstract

This article reviews Kylie Jarrett’s new book Digital Labor (2022. Cambridge: Polity Press).  Jarrett develops a precise definition of digital labour to meet the objection that the term has been over-extended. This article argues that, despite much thought-provoking analysis of the different categories included in her definition and imaginative attempts to link them, the book fails to establish that digital labour in an extended sense has any distinct meaning separate from more general developments in work in contemporary capitalism.

不可能的任务?Kylie Jarrett《数字劳动》书评
本文回顾了凯莉·贾勒特的新书《数字劳动》(2022)。剑桥:政治出版社)。贾勒特对数字劳动力给出了一个精确的定义,以应对这个术语被过度扩展的反对意见。本文认为,尽管对她的定义中包含的不同类别进行了许多发人深省的分析,并富有想象力地试图将它们联系起来,但这本书未能证明,从广义上讲,数字劳动与当代资本主义工作的更普遍发展有任何不同的含义。
