The cultural politics of global infrastructural capitalism and labour

We take infrastructure as a “keyword” in foregrounding the production and the reproduction of contemporary capitalism as well as its complexities and contradictions. To probe the capitalist dynamics of the contemporary moment as infrastructural capitalism, this research moves beyond a dichotomous constellation of the logic of capital and the territorial logic of power to look how a triple logic- capital, power and culture informs the cultural politics attempting to simultaneously resolve the economic crisis and glorify China’s fast speed capitalism.
