Platforms, Populisms, Pandemics and Riots

Nick Dyer-Witheford and Alessandra Mularoni announce the opening of Platforms, Populisms, Pandemics and Riots, https://projectpppr.org/, a website devoted to the relations between digital capitalism, populist politics, the coronavirus crisis and rebellions in the streets, worldwide.

Our launch features a major essay by Raffaele Sciortino, “Neopopulism as a Problem: Between Geopolitics and Class Struggle”, which draws on his as yet-untranslated-into-English book I dieci anni chen sconvolsero il mondo. Crisi globale e geopolitica dei neopopulismi (Ten Years that Shook the World. Global Crisis and Geopolitics of Neopopulism), (Asterios, Trieste 2018.)

In addition, the site includes a conversation between Nick and Raffaele, and essays on left populism and platform capitalism; media “framing theory” under new conditions; “big tech” in capitalism’s time of troubles; and riot logistics.
