{"product_id":"laboring-bodies-and-the-quantified-ulfried-reichardt-9783837649215","title":"Laboring Bodies and the Quantified Self","description":"The body has become central to practices of self-tracking. By focusing on the relations between quantification, the body, and labor, this volume sheds light on the ways in which discourses on data collection, office work, and production are instrumental in redefining concepts of labor, including notions of immaterial and free labor in an increasingly virtual work environment. The contributions explore the functions of quantification in conceptualizing the body as a laboring body and examine how quantification contributes to disciplining the body. By doing so, they also inquire how practices of self-tracking, self-monitoring, and self-optimization have evolved historically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulfried Reichardt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3837649210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837649215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Ulfried Reichardt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982703296767,"sku":"9783837649215","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_785657c5-71c1-4408-ba16-2afdf245cde6.jpg?v=1683262595","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/laboring-bodies-and-the-quantified-ulfried-reichardt-9783837649215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
