Description
Exploring
the new professional scenes in digital and freelance knowledge, this
innovative book provides an account of the subjects and cultures that pertain
to knowledge work in the aftermath of the creative class frenzy. Including a
broad spectrum of empirical projects, The
Reputation Economy documents the rise of freelancing and
digital professions and argues about the central role held by reputation within
this context, offering a comprehensive interpretation of the digital
transformation of knowledge work. The book shows how digital technologies are
not simply intermediating productive and organizational processes, allowing new
ways for supply and demand to meet, but actually enable the diffusion of
cultural conceptions of work and value that promise to become the new standard
of the industry.
