immaterial labor
NOTES:
immaterial labor versus the hard object product
the zany, relational, immaterial labor, reproductive labor, service economy continually pushing the boundaries between the hard and soft (ie. Marx) new economy reliant upon those elements typically relegated to “soft work”
communication, presentation, social (media), relational
Think Lucille Ball, Jim Carrey inĀ The Cable Guy, Richard Pryor in The Toy
