| Description | Tremendous research, policy and investment is directed towards a new wave of automation in modern societies. It appears essential for the future. Advocates argue that it will renew capital accumulation, boost productivity and extend managerial control in sustainable systems of production and consumption. This seminar notes criticism about the future essentialism in this space, and turns to innovations in the marginal industrious spaces of industrial societies.
